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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 managers are often asked to evaluate, display or justify the effectiveness of planned treatments in reducing or positively affecting fire growth, fire behavior and intensity post-treatment. In most cases prescribed fire, mechanical treatments or some combination of both are…

Fire management policies emerged as a means of controlling widespread social, economic and ecological impacts of fire. However, it is now recognized that complete fire exclusion is ecologically and economically undesirable, and an operational impossibility. Alternative fire…

We reviewed the published knowledge on forest succession in the North American boreal biome for its applicability in modelling forest cover change over large extents. At broader scales, forest succession can be viewed as forest cover change over time. Quantitative case studies…
