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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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

Heinselman
In the primeval wilderness - where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man - periodic forest, grassland, and tundra fires are part of the natural environment - as natural and vital as rain, snow, or wind In Minnesota, for example - fire has clearly been…

Forest fires and the snowshoe hare-Canada lynx cycle

Fox
This paper shows that there is a reasonable coincidence between the Canada lynx cycle and the occurrence of forest and brush fires. Fires set in motion plant succession, potentially leading to an increase in snowshoe hares (Grange, 1965). Snowfall is also correlated with the…

Recent history of fire and vegetation from laminated sediment of Greenleaf Lake, Algonquin Park, Ontario

Cwynar
Laminated sediment (presumed varved) from Greenleaf Lake was examined for evidence of forest fires. A 500-year section dating approximately 770-1270 A.D. was analysed for influx of pollen, charcoal, aluminum, and vanadium using decadal samples. Intervals showing concurrent peaks…

Biomass distribution and crown characteristics in two Alaskan Picea mariana ecosystems

Barney, Van Cleve, Schlentner
Allometric relations for tree phytomasss distribution on two black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) sites in interior Alaska were developed and compare with entire unit area samples. Tree component mass equations provided R2 values ranging from a low of 0.24 to a high of 0.97…

Investigating the impact of wildfires on lake water quality using earth observation satellites

Caroni, Pinardi, Free, Stroppiana, Parigi, Tellina, Bresciani, Albergel, Giardino
A study was carried out to investigate the effects of wildfires on lake water quality using a source dataset of 2024 lakes worldwide, covering different lake types and ecological settings. Satellite-derived datasets (Lakes_cci and Fire_cci) were used and a Source Pathway…

Mental health and traumatic occupational exposure in wildland fire dispatchers

Verble, Granberg, Pearson, Rogers, Watson
Wildland fire dispatchers play a key role in wildland fire management and response organization; however, to date, wildland fire studies have largely focused on the physical hazards and, to a lesser extent, mental health hazards of wildland firefighting operational personnel,…
