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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Assembly rules provide one possible unifying framework for community ecology. Given a species pool, and measured traits for each species, the objective is to specify which traits (and therefore which subset of species) will occur in a particular environment. Because the problem…

Fire effects on aplant community, soil, and air are not apparent when judged only by surface fire intensity. The fire severity or fire impact can be described by the temperatures reached within the forest floor and the duration of heating experienced in the vegetation, forest…

From the text...'The purpose of this document is to provide technical information on prescribed burning. It does so in two ways. One, it provides background information useful in determining reasonably available control measures (RACM) and best available control measures (BACM)…

The Interior Lowland of North America, comprising the Central Lowland and the Great Plains, is a region of approximately 3.2 x 106 km2. The nature of the (climatic) climax vegetation in this area has been a matter of controversy. Empirical evidence regarding the vegetation of…

Serotinous cones of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) from a large, relatively uniform, cone lot from a stand collection in Alberta were subjected to six different methods of opening the cone scales: (1) drying at 60oC for 16 hours in a conventional kiln, (2…

From the summary ... 'This paper describes a simple model which can be used to investigate the transport of water vapour by thermal plumes in the atmosphere. For an approximate treatment of these plumes, it is assumed (as in a previous paper) that the vertical velocity,…

From the text... 'The intimate relations of soil and climate, and the effects of land treatment on stream flow, have been recognized for decades. Since we live in an environment composed of many facets, the best pattern of land us is not always or immediately discernible. Too…

In May 1990, a test of two levels of site preparation were implemented on a lower Piedmont site. The two silvicultural treatments were: 1 ) a spotgun application of the herbicide Velpar L and 2) brown and burn procedure. Seven 100 ft. x 2 ft. transects were located within each…

We sampled previously established permanent line intercept transects (15 m length) of oak-saw palmetto scrub 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after a 1986 fire. We recorded cover by taxon in the 0-0.5 m and > 0.5 m height layers. Transects were located in two stands that…

Present uses of prescribed fire in Canada are reviewed. Fire has been a natural component of many forested North American landscapes for millennia, making it an obvious choice as an effective forest management tool. It can be used in harmony with known fire adaptations of…

Following an intense forest fire, carabid beetles were sampled by pitfall trapping in a burned site that had been dominated before the fire by aspen, Populus tremuloides, in a second burned site that had been dominated by conifers (Picea spp.), and in matching unburned sites. In…

To assess the impact of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on endangered and threatened flora, we reviewed pertinent literature and conducted a telephone survey of professional botanists, endangered species scientists, natural area managers, and U.S. National Park…
