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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

An inventory of particulate emissions from open sources

Evans, Cooper
Open sources are those stationary sources of air pollution too great in extent to be controlled through enclosure or ducting. Open sources of atmospheric particles include: wind erosion, tilling, and prescribed burning of agricultural cropland; surface mining and wind erosion of…

Nitrogen oxides from burning forest fuels examined by thermogravimetry and evolved gas analysis

Clements, McMahon
Twelve forest fuels that varied widely in nitrogen content were burned in a thermogravimetric system, and nitrogen oxide production was analyzed by chemiluminescence. The effects of fuel nitrogen concentration, available oxygen, flow rate, and heating rate on nitrogen oxide…

An atmospheric dispersion index for prescribed burning

Lavdas
A numerical index that estimates the atmosphere's capacity to disperse smoke from prescribed burning is described. The physical assumptions and mathematical development of the index are given in detail. A preliminary interpretation of dispersion index values is offered. A…

Recreation and fire management: public concerns, attitudes, and perceptions

Taylor, Cortner, Gardner, Daniel, Zwolinski, Carpenter
Data from three separate but related surveys address the linkages between recreation and public perception of attitudes toward fire management. Recreation ranks high among alternative forest resource uses and is a serious concern vis-a-vis fire effects. Public acceptance of new…

Ecology of coarse woody debris in temperate ecosystems [literature review]

Harmon, Franklin, Swanson, Sollins, Gregory, Lattin, Anderson, Cline, Aumen, Sedell, Lienkaemper, Cromack, Cummins
Publisher Summary: Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important component of temperate stream and forest ecosystems. This chapter reviews the rates at which CWD is added and removed from ecosystems, the biomass found in streams and forests, and many functions that CWD serves. CWD…

Absorption properties and graphitic carbon emission factors of forest fire aerosols

Patterson, McMahon, Ward
Data on the optical absorption properties (expressed as a specific absorption, Ba) of the smoke emissions from fires with forest fuels have been determined for a series of low-intensity field fires and a series of laboratory scale fires. The Ba data have been used to estimate…

Estimates of gross and net fluxes of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere from biomass burning

Seiler, Crutzen
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…

Foliar heat content variations in four coniferous tree species of central Alberta

Chrosciewicz
Foliar high heat contents were determined by standard oxygen bomb calorimetry in jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), and balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) from samples collected in…
