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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

In this paper, we explore empirically whether the USDA Forest Service's litigation success rate in each Forest Service region helps explain the persistent regional effects noted by Laband et al. (Laband, D.N., Gonzalez-Caban, A., and Hussain, A. (2006). ''Factors That Influence…

Since before recorded history mankind has used timber for construction and, in 'tree rich' rural societies, timber has remained a primary construction material ever since. This reflects the ease with which it can be sourced, its excellent mechanical properties, light weight and…

Riparian communities (those near open water) have often been shown to display high structural and compositional diversity and they have been identified as potentially serving a keystone role in the landscape. Thus, they are the focus of specific management guidelines that…

While many wetlands form along floodplains of rivers, streams, lakes, and estuaries, others have developed in depressions far removed from such waters. Depressional wetlands completely surrounded by upland have traditionally been called 'isolated wetlands.' Isolated wetlands are…

Synthesis of published research on the responses of stream benthic macroinvertebrates to fire in western United States indicates a consistent pattern of response that can guide resource management and future research. Direct effects of fire generally are minor or indiscernible.…

Storm-driven episodes of gully erosion and landsliding produce large influxes of sediment to stream channels that have both immediate, often detrimental, impacts on aquatic communities and long-term consequences that are essential in the creation and maintenance of certain…

The 1999 1-km historical natural fire regime and fire regime condition class maps, developed by the Forest Service using baseline data produced by the USGS scientists for general applications, have been widely used for national fire management planning purposes. However, the use…

Modern fire suppression has the potential to alter the natural distribution of forest cover types and age classes, which has consequences for resource management. A 21,000 ha prescribed burn to enhance wildlife habitat and secondarily reduce continuity of coniferous fuels was…

Environmental education plays a critical role in wildland fire management, particularly in fire-adapted ecosystems. The success of Smokey Bear and his fire prevention message has influenced fire management and policy in the United States over the last half century. As our…

Until recently, the effects of wildfire on aquatic ecosystems in the southwestern USA have been given little attention. Wildfires in the early 90s and their impact on threatened and endangered fishes and their habitats increased concern for this management issue. In summer 2002…

This paper suggests that one way to understand the nature of press coverage of the debate over the Bush administration's 'Healthy Forests Initiative' is to see it as an example of the process by which powerful groups in society use the media as they compete among themselves to…
