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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 dynamics of the fine forest fuel's response to moisture changes have not been fully recognized. Fire behavior systems now in use consider all fine fuels to have a 1-hour response time. Experimental results of testing a wide range of fine fuels show the change in moisture…

This Report describes the construction of an index of the relative rate of spread of crowning forest fires during spring and early summer. It depends on the proposition that conifer crowns are more flammable during this period because the moisture content of their foliage is…

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…

From the Introduction: 'Forest fire control agencies in Canada keep records of fire occurrences. Generally, these records summarize the characteristics of individual forest fires and are often stored on a computer-oriented device, usually magnetic tape. From these records, a…
