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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

We present a narrative account of case studies of the recovery of flowing water systems from disturbance, focusing on the investigators' conclusions about recovery time and the factors contributing to recovery. We restrict our attention to case studies in which the recovery of…

In the aftermath of the Greater Yellowstone Area fires of 1988, scientists from all across North America recognized the once in a lifetime research opportunities these fires presented. For a host of reasons, the Yellowstone fires were unique, due largely to their grand scale and…

Analyses of pollen, plant macrofossils, macroscopic charcoal, mollusks, magnetic susceptibility, and geochemical content of a sediment core from Farewell Lake yield a 11,000-yr record of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem changes in the northwestern foothills of the Alaska Range…

Waterfowl brood surveys were conducted in the Pah River Flats, Alaska during July of 1995. Duck production was not significantly different between plots burned in a 1992 wildfire and unburned plots for the third year following the burn. Fire did not produce any statistically…

The Canadian boreal forest is comprised largely of even-aged stands that for millennia have undergone cycles of disturbance (i.e., fires or insect-induced stand mortality) and regrowth. Previous studies of regional-scale carbon (C) budgets have assumed that, when averaged over a…

1 The effects of catchment fire on lake Pieni Majaslampi are examined by means of geochemical, charcoal, pollen, and diatom analyses of surface sediments. Particular emphasis is paid to pH responses in this naturally acid, weakly buffered, small-catchment lake. 2 An increase of…

Prescribed burns usually have minimal hydrologic impact on watersheds because the surface vegetation, litter, and forest floor is only partially burned. Wildfire can, however, have a pronounced effect on basic hydrologic processes, leading to the increased sensitivity of the…
