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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From introduction: 'Several recent studies have stressed the role of lightning-caused wildfires as a natural ecological force in northern coniferous forests (Lutz 1956, Viereck 1973). The diversity of vegetation types and wildlife species that presently occurs in Alaska is…

A bibliography on forest and rangeland fire history containing 307 references was completed during the winter of 1979 and released in the spring of 1980 (Alexander 1979). Nearly five hundred copies have been issued to date. I have casually kept track of new and overlooked…

This paper surveys available information on fire regimes and methodology employed in elucidating these regimes during the suppression, presuppression and post-glacial periods, principally in the boreal and Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest regions of Ontario. The presettlement…

Birth and mortality rates are reviewed relative to caribou in North America and related to population growth. Generally caribou first come into estrus at about 29 months of age and under good nutrition some animals can conceive at 17 months of age. The average pregnancy rate for…

Moose populations on the Kenai National Moose Range in Alaska were monitored by spring, fall, and winter aerial surveys. Data indicate a positive response in moose productivity and density to disturbance by wildfire. Weather data indicated that summer precipitation and…

The infiltration rate of snowmelt water into seasonally frozen soils is controlled in part by the amount of ice in the soil pores. The objective of this study was to measure the redistribution of moisture that occurs over the winter season for Fairbanks silt loam and to…

Dispersal of 1- to 3-year-old moose from a low density, but rapidly growing, moose population was investigated. Radio-collars were placed on 17 offspring of previously radio-collared adult cows. Comparison of home ranges of independent off spring and their respective dams…

Statistical comparisons between tree-ring width sequences and climatic records provide a means of identifying climatic limitations on tree growth and allow the reconstruction of past climates. This information is especially important in the North American sub-Arctic where…

Plant palatability frequently moderates vertebrate herbivore forage selection patterns. There is, however, considerable debate as to which plant chemical characteristics control palatability. On the one hand, forage proximal nutritional quality is believed to be of primary…

Changes are reported in levels of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in leaves and connecting branches following an experimental, high intensity, autumn burn. Following canopy temperatures reaching at least 50 C, reduced levels of nitrogen and phosphorus were found in leaves…

In order to estimate the production of charcoal and the atmospheric emissions of trace gases volatilized by burning we have estimated the global amounts of biomass which are affected by fires. We have roughly calculated annual gross burning rates ranging between about 5 Pg and 9…
