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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

[from the text] Controlled burns, let burns, or prescribed fire in one form or another has become an increasingly important tool in the public land manager's kit. As an agent of environmental change fire has many things to recommend it. However, there are frequently problems in…

Charcoal preserved in lake sediments, peat, and soils provides a record of past fire occurrence. An understanding of fire history is important in evaluating interactions between vegetation, climate and human disturbances through at least the last several millennia. In this paper…

The canopy-borne store of seed in the kwongan plant communities at Kulin and Eneabba, and in the forest understorey stratum at Jarrahdale, Western Australia was found to average 1121, 305 and 7 seeds m-2, respectively. The bradysporous seed reserve of the plant communities…

Complete restoration of regions of the Eucalyptus marginata forest of Western Australia following bauxite mining is limited by topsoil which contains predominantly seed of annuals and biennials rather than the long-lived perennial shrubs and trees of the pre-mining ecosystem;…

Two closely related, critical decisions in forest management are: (1) selecting the best tree species to regenerate on a given site, and (2) devising the most appropriate method of cutting an old-growth stand with its regeneration in mind. Both decisions presume knowledge of a…

A successional process model has been adapted for use with species from ponderosa pine/Douglas-fir forests of the inland Northwest. Its design allows modification for application to other forest types. This model, FIRESUM, simulates tree establishment, growth, and mortality,…

Seedlings of black spruce, aspen, green alder, and grayleaf willow planted on black spruce/feather moss sites in the boreal forest in interior Alaska survived and grew relatively well over a 6-year period after prescribed burning. Survival of black spruce was significantly…

Two thinning and fertilization studies, the first in 1969 and the second in 1971, were established to evaluate the question of nutrient limitation to tree growth and the consequences of stand manipulation of soil moisture supply. Fertilizer was applied yearly for the first 5…
