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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

Data for the behavior of 59 experimental wind-driven fires were extracted from the literature for use in determining a correlation among several variables known to influence the rate of forest fire spread. Also included in the correlation were unpublished data from six field…

From the text (p.246) ... 'In sum, because it was seen as deviation from the adaptive 'norm', behavioral flexibility in the class/task association among social insect workers initially was considered to be noise with respect to division of labor and ergonomic efficiency. However…

Most FVS insect and disease model extensions are a blend of process modeling and empirical relationships. Because of the process elements, insect and disease models can present unexpected results when simulated conditions are unlike those tested when the model was developed.…

The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS), coupled with a new key to structural classes, provided an empirical link between the Columbia River Basin SUccessional Model (CRBSUM) and the real world. The essence of CRBSUM is a set of residence times and disturbance probabilities for…

Stand structure, often quantified using the percent canopy cover associated with various structural layers, is an important characteristic used when modeling ecosystem diversity and function. A model is presented, PERCOVE, that classifies individual trees in a stand into…

Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) multipliers permit the user to tailor model performances to simulate almost any management scenario. Unfortunately, the intuitively logical choice of multipliers is not always the corrent choice and could result in biologically impossible…
