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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

"Mounting the Attack on Wildfire" is a 18-minute video produced in 1987 by the Canadian Forest Service that offers an overview of the co-operative experimental burning project conducted with the Alberta Forest Service at Big Fish Lake in north-central Alberta during the mid to…

Fuel loading, fireline intensity, and expected fire size were determined after harvesting small-stem lodgepole pine stands. Curves relating predicted fireline intensity to slash fuel loading and windspeed are presented. Removing about 15 tons per acre of residues reduced…

From the Introduction ... 'The vegetation mosaic in any landscape is a function of environmental variation and historic disturbances, whether caused by humans or other factors. Many studies have focused on species composition in relation to environmental gradients, and secondary…

From the text ... 'In the definition of ecological factors important to mammals fire usually has not been ranked with temperature, moisture, or light, or even with soil, shelter, or seasonality. However, fire and fire perpetuated environments, such as grasslands, have been of…

From the summary ... ' In summary, the results of these large scale fire tests, conducted under marginal burning conditions, were negative; but, paradoxically, I find this very heartening, for we can now be much more confident in our predictions of fire behavior to be expected…

The forest history around Marion Lake in southwestern British Columbia is reconstructed using plant macrofossil analysis. A comparison with a previous reconstruction based on pollen and spore analysis reveals a good correspondence between pollen and macrofossil zones.…

Prediction equations arc presented for use in estimating total aboveground weight and maximum leaf weight for 22 species of woody plants. Stem diameter at the ground line was found to be closely correlated with both total and leaf weights. This diameter was therefore used in the…

Eight species of fungi isolated from a water repellent soil were incubated for varying periods of time in silica sand. In their latter stages of growth. two of the fungi, Aspergillus Sidowi and Penicillium nigricans, caused limited water repellency in the sand. All the fungal…
