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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Twenty-two clearcut areas were sampled in central British Columbia using the line intersect method to: (a) determine the density and bark area of stumps and logs susceptible to attack by the spruce beetle, Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby), (b) calculate sample sizes for a…

This biological evaluation details a re -evaluation of stands on the Chugach National Forest and adjacent lands. The original evaluations were conducted between 1979 and 1981. These stands were, at that time, rated for their potential susceptibility to spruce beetle impacts.…

This study was undertaken to provide baseline conditions on the incidence of beetle killed spruce in Brooks Camp, the major developed area in Katmai, and to identify potential human activities that might be enhancing beetle population growth.

From introduction: 'From 8 to 18 August 1968, a forest-tundra fire burnt in the Inuvik, Northwest Territories area (Hill, 1969). The fire destroyed tens of square kilometres of lichen-rich tundra and forest-tundra. As a direct result of the fire, some bare hillslopes became…

Caribou select areas of relatively shallow snow for winter feeding, and do so on at least two levels: broad area and microsite. They do not normally select sites with snow-packs having mean integrated Ram hardness values in excess of 85. However, in areas of relatively shallow…

From introduction: 'The importance of documented case studies or histories of wildfires (Alexander 1982) has been repeatedly emphasized by both fire managers and fire researchers (e.g., Schaefer 1961; Luke and McArthur 1978). For example, at the 4th Conference on Fire and Forest…

Fire is one of several natural and man-controlled agents that can alter the mass balance of terrestrial ecosystems. Frequent long-term burning generally decreases biomass and detritus, which together constitute a global carbon reservoir about three times that of the atmosphere.…

Heavy grazing by extremely high densities of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) on St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea resulted in degradation of the lichen stands. Grasses, sedges, and other vascular plants initially increased in response to the removal of lichens under heavy…
