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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Wildfires after prolonged drought consume quantities of fallen trees and soil organic layers. We hypothesized that conflicts within the literature about establishment success of conifers on the resulting ash were a result of the different types of ash used (from wood or peat)…

After nearly a century of avid fire suppression, land managers are substantially increasing prescribed burning to meet ecosystem management objectives. As scientists and managers we need to accurately quantify the capacity of airsheds to assimilate smoke and related atmospheric…

'The United States obtains approximately 2.7 quads of energy per year from biomass while producing 1.5-3.0 million tons of ash. In the future, energy from biomass should increase to 4 quads, and perhaps it will go as high as 10-20 quads (1). Most of this energy comes from paper…

Consistent success in prescribed underburning requires managers to specify acceptable levels of fire injury and to describe the fuels, weather, and fire behavior necessary to accomplish the objectives. Information is assembled to assist managers in this process. Relationships…

Robinia pseudocacia stem annual growth rings from 1958 to 1987 were analyzed for 14C content. The radioactivity of annual rings was found to be strongly correlated with 14C concentration in the atmosphere, which showed a very sharp rise until 1963 due to nuclear weapon tests…

The Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS2) is a national-scale model of forest sector carbon (C) pools and fluxes. This model has been applied to conduct a retrospective analysis of the C budget of the forests of British Columbia for the period 1920- 1989.…

Some soils with permafrost thawed deeply and become drier after forest fires, while others changed little. Soils with permafrost on the coldest and wettest landscape positions (concave to plane, lower slope positions, and north-facing midslopes) usually failed to thaw deeply…

In this study we examine the molecular organic constituents (C8 to C40 lipid compounds) collected as smoke particles from a Canadian boreal forest prescribed burn. Of special interest are (1) the molecular identity of polar organic aerosols, and (2) the amount of polar organic…
