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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Research was conducted to determine the utility of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for measuring the fuel moisture status of boreal forests as reflected in Fire Weather Index Codes. Three years (May to August 1992-1995) of SAR data from the European Remote Sensing Satellite…

The annual area burned on an 8.6 x 106 ha study area in the boreal mixedwood forest of northeastern Alberta, Canada, was characterized as a serially independent random draw from a lognormal distribution. This characterization was applied in Monte Carlo simulations, which showed…

Height growth of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) stands originating from three different disturbance types (fire, clearcut, and tree-fall gap) was compared on two different deposits (glacial till and lacustrine clay) in the Abitibi region in northwestern Quebec…

Forest fires are known to influence nutrient cycling, particularly soil nitrogen (N), as well as plant succession in northern forest ecosystems. However, few studies have addressed the dynamics of soil N and its relationship to vegetation composition after fire in these forests…

Microorganisms in heated (200ºC, 1 h) soil not inoculated (H) or inoculated with 0.5% of fresh soil (Hi) and amended with wheat straw (Hi+WS) or poultry manure (Hi+PM) were determined during a 3-month soil incubation. Heating completely sterilised the soil, although the normal…

A comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of the effects of fire on ecosystem nitrogen (N) is urgently needed for directing future fire research and management. This study used a meta-analysis method to synthesize up to 185 data sets from 87 studies published from 1955 to 1999…

We examined the long-term dynamics of upland boreal forest floors after disturbance by fire. We selected two important and contrasting upland tree species, Pinus banksiana (jack pine) and Populus tremuloides (trembling aspen), in three distinct climatic zones across the boreal…
