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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Tundra fire regimes in the Noatak River Watershed, Alaska: 1956-83

Racine, Dennis, Patterson
The location, cause, frequency, size, rotation times, and seasonal timing of tundra fires in the Noatak River watershed of northwestern Alaska were determined from Bureau of Land Management fire records for 1956-83 and satellite (LANDSAT) 1:1 000 000 scale, black and white, band…

Methodological considerations in the analysis of forest disturbance history

Lorimer
A number of nondestructive techniques for analyzing the timing, frequency, and magnitude of natural disturbances in forest stands are discussed in this paper. Intensive age determination of trees is desirable for reconstructing forest disturbance history, but age distrubution…

Uses and limitations of fecal analyses in Rangifer studies

Boertje, Davis, Valkenburg
Analysis of caribou fecal samples from 4 distinct caribou wintering areas revealed expected relative percentage use of lichens among the areas. Additional uses of fecal analysis include identification of most major plant groups in the diet, detection of trends in condition in…

Energy expenditures of caribou while cratering in snow

Fancy, White
The rate of energy expenditure by caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) digging in snow for lichens was determined by heart rate telemetry and an analysis of cratering mechanics. Based on significant linear relationship between energy expenditure and heart rate, the mean cost per…
