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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The srpuce-fir forest of the Alberta foothills are often characterized by deep organic matter accumulations on the soil surface and cold soil tempertatures, both of which make reforestation difficult and result in a general deterioration in site productivity. Prescribed burning…

'...Thus the use of fire in mature red and white pine stands has been demonstrated to have definite potential for the control of balsam fir and the establishment of white pine regeneration, whether the management objective is purely commercial or also involves recreational and…

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…

There are many uses for prescribed burning in the management of forests, chaparral, grasslands, watersheds, and wildlife. Some of these uses have been pointed out in this paper. There are also many dangers in using fire, both in its application and in its results. To minimize…

[from the text] As we walked onto the beach at Bandon, Oregon that evening in late August 1933, we beheld to the north a tremendous wall of yellow smoke, thousands of feet high. It extended out over the ocean, seemingly to infinity, and slightly to the right of the setting sun.…

Both the landforms and the vegetation of the earth develop to states that are maintained in dynamic equilibrium. Short-term equilibrium of a hillslope or river valley results from intersection between erosional and depositional tendencies, controlled by gravitational force and…

Earth hummocks occur on vast areas of perennially frozen mineral soils in the western Canadian subarctic regions. Different vegetation grows on different parts of the hummocks. The tops of the hummocks are vegetated by plants that have no roots (lichens, mosses) or by short-…
