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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Effect of ground fires on the biochemical composition of the berries of representatives of the Ericacese

Mironov
Berries of Vaccinium vitis-idaea, V. oxycoccus, V. uliginosum and V. myrtillosum were harvested on areas burned by a ground fire 8 yr previously (in one case 3 yr previously). Data are tabulated on DM content, total sugars, acidity (citric acid), total pectins, ascorbic acid,…

Heat tolerance of rhizomes of several understory species

Flinn, Pringle
Rhizomes of eight understory species were subjected to treatments of 45, 50, 55 and 60 degrees for 5 min in a water bath. Selecton of thesespecies for study was based on differences in the depth of the rhizomes, in habitat, and in rhizome morphology. Samples were collected from…

Mass fires and fire behavior

Countryman
Mass fires are being investigated through a series of large-scale test fires. Preliminary results indicate: (a) air flow patterns that create eddies can result in fire vortices when fires is present; (b) the lower part of the convection column consists of a series of small…

Environmental and successional relationships of the forest communities of the Porcupine River drainage, interior Alaska

Yarie
The structure and function of taiga ecosystems over a 3,600,000 ha area of northeastern interior Alaska was shown to be consistent with a hypothesis relating vegetative structure and dynamics to site nutrient status and soil temperature. Ordination of modal community…

Biomass and productivity of white spruce stands in interior Alaska

Yarie, Van Cleve
A total of 58 trees was sampled from eight stands across a large area of interior Alaska. Regression equations were developed to estimate standing aboveground biomass for 22 white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) stands. Aboveground standing biomass of white spruce in mature…
