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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Ips beetles, or more commonly referred to as engraver beetles, are one of the most commonly encountered bark beetles of coniferous trees. More information has been written about this group of bark beetles than any other genus of Scolytidae (family of bark beetles) except…

Disturbances are mechanisms that mediate ecosystem changes in response to climate-driven vegetation changes. While many studies have looked at the effect of fire on ecosystem components, few have considered the response of fire to climate and vegetation change. The effects that…

Boreal forest dynamics have been long characterized as being controlled by large-scale fire regimes. When fire cycles are short, trees are killed and recruited primarily due to these events. However, where fire cycles exceed the longevity of the trees, gap dynamics will shape…

Ecosystem conditions on Federal public lands have changed, particularly within the last 30 years. Wildfires in the west have increased to levels close to or above those estimated for historical conditions, despite increasing efforts and expertise in fire prevention and…

Since the Haines Index (HI) was introduced in 1988, it has been used as a tool to aid fire managers with their decision-making in assessing fire risk. The HI is a lower atmospheric severity index for wildfire severity (growth potential) based upon environmental lapse rates and…

The success of a fire use program is in large part dependent on a solid foundation set in clear and concise planning. The planning process results in specific goals and measurable objectives for fire application, provides a means of setting priorities, and establishes a…

In this paper we review the ecology and physiology of mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana (Bong.) CarriFre) in the context of a dendroclimatological analysis. To better understand the relationship between mountain hemlock growth and climate variability throughout its range we…

Summary: (1) Macrolichens are important for the functioning and biodiversity of cold northern ecosystems and their reindeer-based cultures and economies. (2) We hypothesized that, in climatically milder parts of the Arctic, where ecosystems have relatively dense plant canopies,…
