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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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

Albini
The elements of a theory for the process of free spread of fire through brush are presented in terms of simple stepwise processes, which are analyzed separately but joined by their common physical parameters. The stepwise processes analyzed are: (1) Preheating (by radiation) and…

Impact of harvesting on forest environments and resources: a review of the literature and evaluation of research needs

Bell, Beckett, Hubbard
This review summarizes the available literature relevant to British Columbia concerning the influences of harvesting and post-harvest practices upon the forest environment and resources, and points out significant gaps in knowledge where research would be useful. This will aid…

Wildfires and the fire weather index system in Ontario

Stocks
The performance of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) is analyzed with respect to wildfire behavior in Ontario for a 7-year period (1965-1971). Lightning fires and man-caused fires are analyzed separately and regional differences in fire weather and fire behavior are…

Seasonal variation in moisture content of eastern Canadian tree foliage and the possible effect on crown fires

Van Wagner
Foliar moisture content was sampled in five eastern Canadian conifers and two hardwoods during 1962-65, and seasonal trends were estabished. These were basically similar from year to year despite weather differences. The moisture content of new conifer foliage and hardwood…

Structure of the Canadian forest fire weather index

Van Wagner
The Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) was issued in 1970 after several years' work by a number of fire researchers in the Canadian Forestry Service. The best features of the former fire danger index were incorporated in the FWI, and a link was preserved between old and…

Turbulence and the visualization of wind flow

Moen
Air flow in the natural environment affects the distribution of organisms, mechnical stresses, heat losses by convection, and moisture distribution. Air flow was visualized by bubble tracers in a wind tunnel, and the flow patterns over solid barriers 5 and 15 cm high and 0%, 25…
