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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Preliminary test on relative in flammability of logging slash by species in the western white pine type

Possible effects of ree convection on fire behavior - laminar and turbulent line and point sources of heat

Scesa, Sauer
From the Summary ... 'The transfer theory is applied to the problem of atmospheric diffusion of momentum and heat induced by line and point sources of heat on the surface of the earth. In order that the validity of the approximations of the boundary layer theory be realized, the…

Radiative transfer effects in natural convection above fires

Murgai
This paper describes the results of examining the influence of radiative heat transfer on turbulent natural convection above fires in an atmosphere of constant potential temperature, under both the 'opaque' and 'transparent' approximations. It turns out that on the basis of the…

Mathematical study of wood-burning mechanisms, prepared for publication in the AIChE journal

Weatherford
The mechanism of wood burning has been subjected to mathematical analysis. Extensive finite-difference computations for symmetrical and nonsymmetrical heating of flat wood slabs have provided results which appear to shed additional light upon the mechanisms leading to stable…

The effect of exposure on slash inflammability

Williams
From the text... 'The final conclusion was, then that for the type of slash studied there is no need to adjust the slash hazard index for exposure through that part of the fire season when wildfires are more likely to occur but, if the ratings are to be used as guides in fall…

Impacts of forest practices on surface erosion

Sidle
Before examining the impacts of forest management practices on surface erosion, it is appropriate to ask the question 'Why should we be concerned with surface erosion?' One of the most important impacts of surface erosion on forest lands is the decrease in site productivity…

Some effects of artificial defoliation on the growth of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.)

O'Neil
Young jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) were defoliated manually to measure the effects of defoliation on growth of this species, and to determine the relative efficiency of foliage of different ages with respect to growth. The removal of 2-year-old or 3-year-old foliage had no…
