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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Most presettlement Canadian and Alaskan boreal forests and Rocky Mountain subalpine forests had lightning fire regimes of large-scale crown fires and high-intensity surface fires, causing total stand replacement on fire rotations (or cycles) to 50 to 200 years. Cycles and fire…

Fire experiments were conducted in small scale compartment models under a forced or natural ventilation. Four liquid fuels of methanol, ethanol, n-hexane and benzene, which are considered to represent thermal decomposition products of polymers, were burned in the fire.…

The variances of species abundances from 141 upland stands are partitioned into habitat and fire frequency. Principal components analysis is then performed on each of these partitions. The habitat ordination has a topographic-canopy coverage gradient and a nutrient gradient. The…

During spring 1977 and 1978, 136 moose (Alces alces gigas) calves were radio-collared in the Nelchina and Susitna river basins of south central Alaska in an effort to determine causes of mortality. Thirteen calves (9.5%) died as a result of collaring activities. Of the 123…

We examined the effects of fall clipping or burning on chemical constituents and their distribution in bluebunch wheatgrass the following spring. The study was made in both a big sagebrush-bluebunch wheatgrass and a Douglas fir-bluebunch wheatgrass community. The concentration…

After a fire in a phryganic ecosystem, the nutreint losses in above-ground plant biomass, in nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) were quantitatively different. The most important is that of nitrogen (96%), followed by magnesium (59%),…

The effects of fire on the biogeochemical cycles of ecosystems are considered: (1) the effects on the abiotic controlling factors (temperature, H-ion concentration, ex- changeable bases, available water, and light); (2) the initial, or direct, effects; and (3) the postfire…

The possibility of applying infrared imagery to the study of a large, hot plume materialized by carbon particles resulting from the incomplete combustion of fuel oil is investigated. In a specific case (the PROSERPINE experiment), due to the high carbon particle content, the…
