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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Conclusions: 'The results of this study show that black spruce and jack pine can be established successfully by broadcast seeding from the air on fresh to moist sites on a severely burned cutover area in central Newfoundland. The seeding equipment used proved satisfactory. The…

The suggestion that some forest fires should be allowed or even encouraged to burn in the large national and provincial parks is bound to evoke a wide range of reactions. For decades the forest authorities across Canada have spared no effort to convince people that forest fires…

A large region of central and western Canada experienced a particularly severe forest fire season during 1980 in terms of the number of fire starts, area burned, and suppression expenditures. In Alberta, most of the fire occurred during April and May in the northern half of the…

Throughout the boreal circumpolar North almost all terrestrial ecosystems exhibit soil organic matter accumulation, with increased accumulation at higher soil moisture levels. Fire frequencies in organic terrain are very low compared with drier ecosystems such as those dominated…

Patterns of undisturbed nutrient cycling in northern ecosystems and the impact of fire on nutrient cycling are reviewed and discussed. The various effects of fire on ecosystem nutrient cycling may be broadly subdivided into (1) nutrient redistribution during fire, and (2)…
