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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 'Summary of Fire and Moose Relationships ... 1. Vegetation immediately following the 1947 Burn was largely determined by the previous stand. Revegetation was through both vegetative and seeding reproduction. Types following the fire were numerous and variable in…

From the text...'In this Alaskan reconnaissance, I believe we were the first workers to point out that the caribou was a creature of climax vegetation-the lichen tundra-and the moose one of mid-successional vegetation. We became aware of the liberation of the shrub growth of…

The first part of this report presents the results of further tests of fires in wood cribs. In one series of tests cribs of the same height and structure but with different areas, or horizontal cross-sections, were burned in still air to determine the effect of size of burning…

Holocene fossil pollen data of fine temporal and spatial resolution were obtained from two small, closed lake basins in southern Ontario, Canada. Forest development is recorded in the pollen sequences, which document the invasion and expansion of tree populations during the…

Most FVS insect and disease model extensions are a blend of process modeling and empirical relationships. Because of the process elements, insect and disease models can present unexpected results when simulated conditions are unlike those tested when the model was developed.…
