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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Formal regulation of private property and exploration of 'risk transmission' across ownerships are two popular means for addressing wildfire management at landscape scales. However, existing studies also indicate that a number of barriers exist for implementing formal…

The effects of freestream flow on fire spread behaviors of a discrete wooden fuel array were studied. The spacing between fuel elements was varied, and the flame spread behavior under 1, 2, and 3 m/s forced flow velocities was investigated. The fastest spread rate was not…

There is a strong need to increase the basic understanding of the propagation mechanisms in wildfires to improve the scientific tools needed for firefighting and fire prevention. This study focuses on the fire spread mechanisms by radiation. Three contiguous trees were ignited…

Creeping fire spread under opposed airflow is a classic fundamental fire research problem involving heat transfer, fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, and is strongly dependent on environmental factors. Persistent research over the last 50 years has established a solid framework…

[Excerpted from paper] Climate is defined as the sum of weather conditions affecting animal and plant life, and as trees come under the head of plant life, they are affected by climate from whatever point of view the cause and effect of climate in connection with forests may be…

[from the text] Climate as an element of physical environment is so well recognized that there is no need to demonstrate its importance. By common consent it is held to be a primary factor not only in the life of plants, animals, and man as they exist today, but in their entire…

This review summarizes the information that was available in the scientific literature as of 2021 on the biology, ecology, and effects of fire and control methods on spotted knapweed in North America.
Spotted knapweed is a nonnative, invasive forb in parts of the United States.…
