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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Black spruce fuel weights and biomass in two Interior Alaska stands

Barney, Van Cleve
This study reports the fuel weight and biomass distribution in a 51-year-old lowland and 55-year-old upland black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) stand in interior Alaska. Biomass distribution is shown for overstory, stand and down dead tree components, herbaceous…

Nutrient ion losses in streamflow after fire and fertilization in eastern Washington [abstract]

Tiedemann, Helvey
During the 2 years after a severe wildfire, concentration of nitrate-N increased from pre-fire levels of 0.015 ppm to 0.56 ppm on a burned, unfertilized watershed and to 0.54 ppm and 1.47 ppm on watersheds that were burned and fertilized with 54 kg/ha of N as ammonium sulfate…

Plant biomass in the Tanana River Basin, Alaska

Mead
Vegetation phytomass tables are presented for the Tanana River basin. Average phytomass for each species of tree, shrub, grass, forb, lichen, and moss in 13 forest and 30 nonforest vegetation types is shown. These data combined with area estimates for each vegetation type…

Fire, global warming, and the carbon balance of boreal forests

Kasischke, Christensen, Stocks
Fire strongly influences carbon cycling and storage in boreal forests. In the near-term, if global warming occurs, the frequency and intensity of fires in boreal forests are likely to increase significantly. A sensitivity analysis on the relationship between fire and carbon…
