The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The transition of restoration from a science, craft and labor of love to a business raises questions about ecological values and economic costs. An environmental economist summarizes some problems and offers a framework for evaluating the costs and expected results of…

Soils are an important natural capital and can be negatively affected by high severity fires. The capacity of soil to recover from the degradation caused by fire disturbance depends on fire history, ash properties, topography, post-fire weather, vegetation recuperation and post-…

It is widely recognized that forest restoration needs to be scaled up to landscapes. We describe the findings from the project 'Go big or Go Home?' in the eastern Cascades of Oregon. The goals of the project were to analyze how forest collaboratives and Forest Service managers…

Seedlings of black spruce, aspen, green alder, and grayleaf willow planted on black spruce/feather moss sites in the boreal forest in interior Alaska survived and grew relatively well over a 6-year period after prescribed burning. Survival of black spruce was significantly…

The atmospheric input of carbon dioxide from burning wood, in particular from forest fires in boreal and temperate regions resulting from both natural and man-made causes and predominantly from forest fires in tropical regions caused by shifting cultivation, is estimated to be 5…

The boreal forest is the largest forest region in Canada, occupying approximately 315 million ha. Within this forest region the long-term average annual area burned is 1.3 million ha, with extreme fire years being common, and covering up to 7 million ha in a single fire season.…

Yearly applications of N, P, and K fertilizer for a 6-year period to a young, postfire aspen forest, resulted in substantial increases in tree growth primarily in response to nitrogen. The main effect of N was to increase, by at least a factor of two, the stand leaf area index,…

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers were applied to 15-year-old quaking aspen developing on a burned site in interior Alaska. After two years of nutrient application, maximum tip, diameter, and basal area growth averaged 27.1 cm, 0.72 cm, and 2.9 cm per tree,…

Mechanical treatment and prescribed fire were used to restore a mixed conifer stand (Picea-Abies-Pinus) following mortality from an outbreak of Siberian moth (Dendrolimus superans sibiricus). Moth-killed stands often become dominated by Calamagrostis, a sod-forming grass. The…

This paper reviews and synthesizes literature on fire as a disturbance factor in boreal forests. Spatial and temporal variation in the biophysical environment, specifically, vegetative structure, terrain, and weather lead to variations in fire behaviour. Changes in slope, aspect…

Early establishment of white spruce (Picea glauca) in mixedwood boreal forest stands following fire was examined in Alberta, Canada at several times-since-fire (1-, 2-, 4-, 6-, 14-years). Abiotic and biotic conditions in the stands were assessed at two scales, tree plot (5 m x 5…

The timing of white spruce regeneration in aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.)-white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) boreal mixedwood stands is an important factor in stand development. We examined boreal mixedwood stands representing a 59-year period of time since fire and…

The objectives of this reply are to: (1) clarify the scope and intent of the authors' original paper [See Canadian Journal of Forest Research (2002) 32, 1496-1501]; (2) respond to the issue of accuracy of concept; and (3) discuss its relevance to the broader issue of forest…

Post-fire regeneration of Picea glauca on boreal mixedwood sites appears to be highly variable over time. Our objectives were to determine whether ground-level ring counts underestimate root collar age of understorey P. glauca and whether aging errors increase with stand age.…

Boreal forests are composed of a few plant species with contrasting traits with respect to ecosystem functioning and spatial patterning. Early successional deciduous species, such as birch (Betula spp.) and aspen (Populus spp.), disperse seeds widely, do not tolerate low light…

Postfire development of cover and diversity was studied in an upland Picea mariana-dominated forest in the Canadian Subarctic. Short-term vegetation responses of 10- and 22-year-old cleared rights-of-way and a forest site were investigated two and three growing seasons after a…
