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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 model was developed from numerical and analytical solutions of the diffusion forms of the mass continuity equation and the first law of thermodynamics. Analytical solutions provided a functional framework to evaluate nonlinear interactions obtained in the numerical solutions…

In the previous study, single sticks of dry white pine 8-50 mm diam. were exposed in a high-temperature and the gas temperature were equal, 357-857 C. Several regimes of behavior were perceived, among them a regime typically occurring at tempertaures above 500 C in which fully…

Rhizome occurrence and root structure of Vaccinium membranaceum were investigated by hydraulic excavation. Numerous, robust rhizomes were present. Taproots were not observed. V. membranaceum rhizomes sprouted vigorously after a light surface fire killed the shoots. They may be…

To sum up, policy, strategy, personnel and equipment employed to suppress forest and range fires has changed dramatically over the past 70-year history of the Forest Service. Most of this change has come during the past 25 years, with the establishment of research laboratories…

Costs of mopping up wildfires have been difficult to estimate because data are not recorded in a way conducive to separate total fire cost into components such as personnel and equipment or mobilization and demobilization of crews. To estimate costs, 25 National Forests in three…

Examination of 30 stands in sub-arctic woodlands showed that most were even-aged, having been established after fires. Most fires killed all trees in the stand, but in some instances some trees survived, indicating light fires. The rare occurrence of uneven-aged stands shows…

Alaskan Salicaceae can be subdivided into two groups on the basis of timing of seed dispersal. The early-seeding species include members of the genus Populus and the majority of Salix species. Late-seeding species include seven members of the genus Salix. On tests of five…

Pheromone baited traps and trap trees attracted an aggregate of 29 scolytid species associated with white spruce in three localities in Alaska. Species diversity was higher in Fairbanks than in the Brooks Range or the Kenai Peninsula. Scolytids were found inhabiting all bark-…

During a 4-year period the biomass and mass of selected chemical elements were measured in litter fall from young, intermediate, and mature age classes of quaking aspen and paper birch in interior Alaska. Average annual deposition of biomass and mass of Mg, Fe, and Mn were…

A study of duck habitat use patterns and limnology in eastern interior Alaska revealed that ponds hydrologically connected to a creek system had greater use by ducks and higher levels of most nutrients and ions that those hydrologically isolated from a system. Phosphate level…

Trend of the Nelchina caribou range was determined from vegetation examinations of 36 ten and fifteen year old exclosures. Condition of climax lichen stands, primarily Cladonia alpestris, began to degenerate with two to three years of use and has declined substantially in the…

Five 7.3m x 7.3m exclosures were constructed on winter range following grazing. All feeding craters within the sites were permanently marked. The exclosures were later examined, disassembled and the crater outlines super-imposed on vegetation maps. The procedure was repeated on…

Vegetation associated with various successional stages was studied on the Susitna River floodplain, southcentral Alaska, during 1981 summer. The objective of the study was to identify the vegetation successional sequence(s) and to approximate a time frame for these stages.…
