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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fire regimes have changed during the Holocene due to changes in climate, vegetation, and in human practices. Here, we hypothesise that changes in fire regime may have affected the global CO2 concentration in the atmosphere through the Holocene. Our data are based on quantitative…

Black carbon (BC) may be a major component of riverine carbon exported to the ocean, but its flux from large rivers is unknown. Furthermore, the global distribution of BC between natural and anthropogenic sources remains uncertain. We have determined BC concentrations in…

The objective of this study was to compare juvenile (0-12 years) height growth pattern of dominant mature trees from two virgin black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) forests established during the 19th century (1870) to that of young dominant black spruce seedlings newly…

Lightning is thought to represent an important source of tropospheric reactive nitrogen species NOx (NO + NO2), but estimates of global production of NOx by lightning vary considerably. We evaluate the production of NOx by lightning using a global chemical/transport model,…

From the text ... 'Although we consider the use of fire essential for maintenance of PJ [pinyon-juniper] savanna structure, there are inherent risks to the herbaceous understory. In particular, we noted that turf-forming individuals of blue grama with excessive amounts of dead…

Burning of native pasture affects soil, botanical composition, species development, and forage quality. It was studied five management systems of native pasture under grazing condition: biennial burning for more than 100 years; without burning for 32 years with or without mowing…

Flux measurements at sites of mixed hardwood and black spruce (Picea mariana) stands from an area (C4) of the Caribou-Poker Creek Research Watershed (CPCRW), interior Alaska, USA, in the summer seasons of 1998, 1999, and 2000 are used to estimate the fluxes of CH4 and N2O before…

From introduction: 'Caribou are found throughout the boreal forests of interior Alaska, a region subject to chronic and expansive wildland fires. Fruticose lichens, if available, constitute the majority of the winter diet of caribou throughout their range and are common in…

This paper presents data collected by an automated system designed to measure the seasonal cycle of both the quantity and isotopic composition of soil respiration. The results support the hypothesis that deep soil respiration at the BOREAS Northern Old Black Spruce site is…

Hydrologic studies have been conducted in the Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed (CPCRW) since 1969 primarily directed at improving our understanding of basic hydrological processes in an area underlain by discontinuous permafrost. Recently research has focused upon the…

Boreal tree species are expected to invade tundra ecosystems as climate warms. Because forested ecosystems differ from tundra ecosystems in a number of climatically relevant characteristics, this advance of the altitudinal and latitudinal tree limit may ultimately feedback on…

Fire reconstruction and forest inventory maps provided an opportunity to study changes in stand-level characteristics following fire using a data set comprised of all forest stands of fire origin in an area of over 10 000 km2. We assigned the date of the most recent fire…

We used a dynamic, long-term mass balance approach to track cumulative carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) losses to fire in boreal Manitoba over the 6500 years since deglaciation. Estimated C losses to decomposition and fire, combined with measurements of N pools in mature and burned…
