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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Population characteristics of sympatric Testudo hermanni and T graeca were compared at four sites in northern Greece; Alyki, Epanomi, Keramoti and Lagos. These had different habitats and levels of human disturbance. The density of tortoises larger than 10cm was similar at all…

Picea mariana-Vaccinium uliginosum vegetation was sampled in a north-south transect near Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada. Four stages in the postfire recovery sequence were described. Little qualitative change in vascular plants was found in the transect or with time since burning,…

Radar maps of precipitation at a height of 6km have been studied for the thunderstorms of one July day. Regions on these maps within which the intensity level exceeds 30 dBZ (corresponding to a rainfall rate of 2.8 mm h(-1)) represent thunderstorms, some single-celled and some…

Economic limitations prevent the mapping over of large areas of forest fire fuel types using conventional forestry methods. The information contained in such maps would be a valuable tool for assisiting in initial attack planning, presuppression planning and fire growth…

In a year of catastrophic wildland fires across the country, Alaska once again had the dubious honor of being host to the nation's largest wildland fire.

Dry, unstable air increases the probability that wildland fires will become large and/or erratic. This paper describes an atmospheric index for these fires, based on the environmental lapse rate of a layer of air coupled with its moisture content. In low-elevation regions of the…

A Landsat-derived vegetation map was prepared for Innoko National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge lies within the northern boreal subzone of northwestern central Alaska. Six major vegetation classes and 21 subclasses were recognized: forest (closed needleleaf, open needleleaf,…
