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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Mass fires and fire behavior

Countryman
Mass fires are being investigated through a series of large-scale test fires. Preliminary results indicate: (a) air flow patterns that create eddies can result in fire vortices when fires is present; (b) the lower part of the convection column consists of a series of small…

Effect of stubble removal on seed production of Bromegrass, Bromus inermis Leyss

Knowles
Bromegrass seed fields are often directly combined and the remaining growth harvested as hay. It is of interest to determine the effects of this stubble removal on subsequent seed crops. Information on burning of stubble as it affects seed yields would help in the settlement of…

Effects of slash burning on conifer regeneration in southeast Alaska

Harris
In 1957, circular plots in a burnt clear-felled area, in old-growth Western Hemlock and Sitka Spruce and in an adjacent unburnt area, were sown after burning, first by hand and again, 3 months later, from the air. Results were assessed from initial seedling establishment (from…

Change in distribution and availability of nitrogen with forest succession on north slopes in interior Alaska

Heilman
Forest succession on north slopes in interior Alaska results in the development of sphagnum bogs on sites formerly occupied by productive forest. This process is one of gradual deterioration of site associated with the accumulation of moss layers on the forest floor. Advancing…

Spruce seed as a food of red squirrels and flying squirrels in interior Alaska

Brink, Dean
Feeding trials from Nov. 1962 through June 1963, in an outdoor enclosure in Alaska, showed that red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) can survive for 3 weeks and possibly more, solely on Picea glauca seed, consuming ca. 144 cones/day/squirrel, but they thrive poorly on P.…
