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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

It has long been obvious to foresters that trees of different ages, and of different species but the same age, respond differently to the heat of a forest fire. Ability of plants to survive a given degree of exposure to fire depends on such factors as location of heat -sensitive…

Fire ecology can be defined as the study of fire as it affects the environment and the interrelationships of plants and animals therein. It is assumed that through natural selection primarily, over long periods of time, plants and animals have developed 'adaptations' that allow…

Lupinus spp. and Alnus crispa subsp. sinuata are the first plants to look healthy and grow rapidly on cold raw mineral deposits exposed through glacier recession. Lupin causes associated willows, grasses and fire-weed to bloom and to grow several times as fast as plants growing…

Quantity of available palatable browse, vitamin content of available trees and shrubs, and moisture, protein, carbohydrate, ether extractive, and total mineral content, were determined for 3 stages in forest succession in British Columbia, in order to explain the cause of the…
