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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fire Management in Parks and Protected Areas

Kilgore, Christensen, Aplet, Wilmer, Stephens, Ruth, Hardesty, Myers, Fulks
[Excerpted from the introduction to the issue] When national parks were originally establishde in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s, most people thought you simply needed to protect them as they were, with nochanges over time, to achieve the objective of…

Effects of fire return rates on traversability of lodgepole pine forests for mountain pine beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) and the use of patch metrics to estimate traversability

Barclay, Li, Benson, Taylor, Shore
Monte-Carlo simulation was used to examine the effects of fire return rates on the equilibrium age structure of a one-million-hectare lodgepole pine forest (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm. ex S. Wats.; Pinaceae) and yielded a mosaic of ages over the one million hectares…

Lodgepole pine forest age class dynamics and susceptibility to mountain pine beetle attack

Li, Barclay, Hawkes, Taylor
Because mountain pine beetle attack mature pine stands, an understanding of forest age class dynamics is important to managing forests within the distribution of the beetle. The assumed theoretical negative exponential forest age distribution provides an estimate when ecosystem…

Taxonomy of the Symphyotrichum (Aster) Subulatum group and Symphyotrichum (Aster) Tenuifolium (Asteraceae: Astereae)

Nesom
North American and Central American Taxa of Symphyotrichum sect. Oxytripolium (S. subulatum sensu lato and S. tenuifolium sensu lato) have been treated at both specific and varietal rank. As interpreted here, morphological discontinuities and reproductive isolation indicate that…

Endemic vascular plants of the Interior Highlands, U.S.A

Zollner, MacRoberts, MacRoberts, Ladd
We evaluate the 36 endemic vascular plants of the Interior Highlands of Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Most of the endemic flora of the region are herbaceous perennials, although nearly a quarter of the endemic plant taxa are annuals. An analysis of the…

Integrated research to improve fire management decisionmaking

MacGregor, Haynes
The emergence of large fires of long duration (also known as siege fires) with their inherently high costs has raised numerous questions about the opportunities for cost containment. Cost reviews from the 2003 fire season have revealed how additional knowledge created through…

Harvesting morels after wildfire in Alaska

Wurtz, Wiita, Weber, Pilz
Morels are edible, choice wild mushrooms that sometimes fruit prolifically in the years immediately after an area has been burned by wildfire. Wildfires are common in interior Alaska; an average of 708,700 acres burned each year in interior Alaska between 1961 and 2000, and in…

Stability of pitcher-plant microfaunal populations depends on food web structure

Trzcinski, Walde, Taylor
Enrichment (increasing K) destabilizes simple consumer-resource interactions, but increasing food web complexity in various ways can remove this paradox of enrichment. We varied resources and number of omnivorous predators (mosquitoes) and tested for effects on the stability (…
