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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Ponderosa pine seedlings were used to determine availability of soil nutrients following prescribed burning. Soils were removed from the top 10 inch layer of burned and unburned plots and placed in pots which were planted with five pine seedlings per pot. Results obtained…

Bromegrass seed fields are often directly combined and the remaining growth harvested as hay. It is of interest to determine the effects of this stubble removal on subsequent seed crops. Information on burning of stubble as it affects seed yields would help in the settlement of…

This paper attempts to survey timberlines of western North America in a manner primarily designed to serve public interpreters of natural history, such as park naturalists. Hopefully, this broad discussion of the timberlines will also be of interest to biologists and some…

In the course of drawing up a forest-cover map, data were collected on forest types and their distribution, and rates of growth. It was concluded that soil type and superficial geology are relatively unimportant in controlling distribution of vegetation in the area, as compared…

This study was undertaken during the summers of 1949 to 1952 to provide a better understanding of the ecological effects of forest fires in the Alaska interior. The information sought related primarily to the effects of forest fires on vegetation, but effects on soils, fur-…

In 1957, circular plots in a burnt clear-felled area, in old-growth Western Hemlock and Sitka Spruce and in an adjacent unburnt area, were sown after burning, first by hand and again, 3 months later, from the air. Results were assessed from initial seedling establishment (from…

Forest succession on north slopes in interior Alaska results in the development of sphagnum bogs on sites formerly occupied by productive forest. This process is one of gradual deterioration of site associated with the accumulation of moss layers on the forest floor. Advancing…

Feeding trials from Nov. 1962 through June 1963, in an outdoor enclosure in Alaska, showed that red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) can survive for 3 weeks and possibly more, solely on Picea glauca seed, consuming ca. 144 cones/day/squirrel, but they thrive poorly on P.…
