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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Global annual NO emissions from soil are of the order of 10 Tg NO-N. This is about half the amount fossil fuel combustion processes contribute to the annual global NOx budget. Reducing the emissions of soil derived NOx requires an understanding of the source of the flux and the…

The nutrient (N, P, K, Mg, and Ca) content of the aboveground living non-crop vegetation of a jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) clear-cut in eastern Ontario was investigated for two years after site preparation, which consisted of prescribed burning under different fire…

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,…

From the text...'Substance must be given to policies that state that fire suppression costs should be proportional to values at risk and that fire should assume a more natural role in manging the landscape. A workshop of Canadian fire experts was convened by the Candian Forest…

In many forest types, over half of the total stand biomass is located in the forest floor. Carbon emissions during wildland fire are directly related to biomass (fuel) consumption. Consumption of forest floor fuel varies widely and is the greatest source of uncertainty in…

Wildland fire is a global phenomenon, and a result of interactions between climate-weather, fuels and people. Our climate is changing rapidly primarily through the release of greenhouse gases that may have profound and possibly unexpected impacts on global fire activity. The…

The importance of Canada's forest biomass in the global carbon cycle needs to be better understood as part of Canada's efforts to meet its objective of sustainable forestry. The distribution of biomass, as well as the changes associated with different management scenarios, have…

CH4 and CO2 fluxes were measured in upland boreal forest soils near Thompson, Manitoba, from May 16 to September 16, 1994. Most sites consumed atmospheric CH4, fluxes ranging from +0.6 to -2.6mgCH4m-2d-1, and emitted CO2 at rates between 0.2 and 26.8gCO2m-2d-1. There was some…

We used input and decomposition data from 14C studies of soils to determine rates of vertical accumulation of moss combined with carbon storage inventories on a sequence of burns to model how carbon accumulates in soils and moss after a stand-killing fire. We used soil drainage-…

Fine-root (diameter 10 mm) standing biomass, length, distribution, production, and decomposition were studied in mixed conifer/broadleaved forest stands 48, 122, and 232 yr after fire on clay soils in the southern boreal forest of Quebec. A combination of ingrowth bags, soil…

During the spring and summer of 1994 we monitored soil-atmosphere exchanges of methane and carbon dioxide at upland sites in the Canadian boreal forest near the northern study area (NSA) of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS). The effects of fire on methane and carbon…

Ecologists, biogeographers, and paleobotanists have long thought that climate and soils controlled the distribution of ecosystems, with the role of fire getting only limited appreciation. Here we review evidence from different disciplines demonstrating that wildfire appeared…
