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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A hierarchy of processes operating at different spatial and temporal scales form landscape pattern, and changes to the patterns can have impacts on habitats and forest dwelling species. Managing landscapes under the auspices of sustainable forest ecosystems and emulation of…

The frequency of caribou, Rangifer tarandus, crossing of roads, pipeline, and pipelines along roads was studied in the Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk oil fields on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. Caribou crossed an elevated pipeline or a road with a frequency similar to the control…

Patterns of disconnected fuel treatment patches that overlap in the heading fire spread direction are theoretically effective in changing forward fire spread rate. The analysis presented here sought to find the unit shape and pattern for a given level of treatment that has the…

Summary: (1) Macrolichens are important for the functioning and biodiversity of cold northern ecosystems and their reindeer-based cultures and economies. (2) We hypothesized that, in climatically milder parts of the Arctic, where ecosystems have relatively dense plant canopies,…

Although behaviour of stand-replacing wildfire has significant impacts on initial tree regeneration in the fire-prone boreal landscape, the unknown behaviour of most past wildfires has precluded any evaluation of these impacts on the progressive development of late-successional…

The influence of climate on the population dynamics of trees must be inferred from indirect sources of information because the long lifespans of trees preclude direct observation of population growth and decline. Important insights about these processes come from 1) observations…

Height growth of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) stands originating from three different disturbance types (fire, clearcut, and tree-fall gap) was compared on two different deposits (glacial till and lacustrine clay) in the Abitibi region in northwestern Quebec…

A comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of the effects of fire on ecosystem nitrogen (N) is urgently needed for directing future fire research and management. This study used a meta-analysis method to synthesize up to 185 data sets from 87 studies published from 1955 to 1999…

Data on the optical absorption properties (expressed as a specific absorption, Ba) of the smoke emissions from fires with forest fuels have been determined for a series of low-intensity field fires and a series of laboratory scale fires. The Ba data have been used to estimate…

The bryophytes of the boreal forest are interesting in that they may form a minor element of the community in terms of biomass, while simultaneously being a major element in terms of cover and primary productivity. Even more importantly, the mosses may control ecosystem function…

Foliar high heat contents were determined by standard oxygen bomb calorimetry in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), and balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) from samples collected in…
