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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Modeling forest succession disturbance on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, using the Fire Effects Tradeoff Model

Schreuder, Schaaf, Wiitala, Weise
This study evaluates the effects of alternative fuels treatment options on wildfire acres, smoke emissions, and landscape composition, on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.  It is part of the Pacific Southwest Research Station's 'Risk-Based Comparison of Potential Fuel Treatment…

Buoyant plumes in a moist atmosphere

Morton
From the summary ... 'This paper describes a simple model which can be used to investigate the transport of water vapour by thermal plumes in the atmosphere. For an approximate treatment of these plumes, it is assumed (as in a previous paper) that the vertical velocity,…

Control of brush and undesirable trees: IV: conservation in land clearing

Sampson, Schultz
From the text... 'The intimate relations of soil and climate, and the effects of land treatment on stream flow, have been recognized for decades. Since we live in an environment composed of many facets, the best pattern of land us is not always or immediately discernible. Too…

Kahn, Balbach, Guyer, Mendonca, Beauman
The gopher tortoise is federally listed in the western portion of its range, and a species of concern elsewhere. In both populations, the need to relocate animals whose burrows are threatened by development is common. Different practices for relocation have been studied, but…
