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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

SUMMARY: ( 1) Samples of three naturally occurring, disjunct stands of Pinus resinosa Ait. (red pine) located in the general vicinity of Lake Nipigon, Ontario were mapped, cored for age-estimation, and measured for growth in diameter. (2) The two most western populations showed…

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…

Grassland burning elicits a diverse array of responses by arthropods, depending upon many interactive factors. Empirical models were develoed, based on the literature, to qualitatively order selected behavioral characteristics of fire, arthropod life habits and phenology,…

A structured expert-judgement elicitation technique was used to develop probability distributions for fireline production rates for Ontario's three- and four-person initial-attack crews for seven common fuel types and two distinct levels of fire intensity (i.e., low, 500 kW/m;…

In the southeastern boreal forest of Canada, the presence of mixed stands of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) growing in similar abiotic conditions offers the opportunity to study the influence of aspen on stand volume and…

Fuel teatment effects on the growth and behavior of large wildland fires depend on the spatial arrangements of individual treatment units. Evidence of this is found in burn patterns of wildland fires. During planning stages, fire simulation is most often used to anticipate…
