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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

It is now apparent that fire once played some role in shaping all but the wettest, the most arid, or the most fire-sheltered plant communities of the United States. Understanding the role of fire in structuring vegetation is critical for land management choices that will, for…

The importance of measuring and monitoring fire related ecosystem characteristics in forests is recognized and is the focus of several new studies. In this paper we present a discussion on the use of remote sensing for the study of boreal forest fire scar characteristics. Remote…

A demonstration package of predictive models for assessing the risk of forest damage from wind, fire and snow has been produced which can be accessed via the World Wide Web (WWW). The paper describes how this demonstration provides a common point of access to the models and to…

Acceptance of calculation procedures for determining fire endurance ratings for wood beams and columns has permitted the use of large wood members in applications where firerated structural members are required. As a result, the potential market for wood products increased in…

Wildfires in steep forest environments can often produce disasterous runoff and soil loss after rainstorms. There is often needle cast from partially burnt conifer trees that generally falls to the soil surface within several months after the fire. These needles offer protection…

Many U. S. forests, especially those with historically short-interval, low- to moderate-severity fire regimes, are too dense and have excessive quantities of fuels. Widespread treatments are needed to restore ecological integrity and reduce the high risk of destructive,…

Land managers in Alaska need information on lichen regeneration timelines specific to their region to establish sound fire management guidelines for caribou winter range. North American caribou (Rangifer tarandus) herds are largely dependent on lichens for winter forage. Winter…

A microwave backscattering model for shrub clumps was presented. The modelling approach was to treat the clumps as scatterers and attenuators. Three major model components were defined: surface backscattering, clump volume scattering, and multiple path interactions between…

An important challenge in global-change research is to stimulate short-term transient changes in climate, disturbance regime, and recruitment that drive long-term vegetation distributions. Spatial features (e.g., topographic barriers) and processes, including disturbance…

FrostFire is a major field experiment and modeling effort to study the role of fire in boreal forests as a global change feedback and simultaneously provide fire managers with an improved capacity to predict fire severity based on meteorological conditions. The centerpiece of…

A micro-ecosystem approach was used to study the changes in the edaphic conditions after a medium-intensity ground fire in ca. 120 ha of larch (Larix gmelinii) forest in Evenkia (N. central Siberia). Data are presented on micro-relief, permafrost, recovery of ground vegetation,…

Organic matter is of primary importance to the sustainability of long-term site productivity in forest ecosystems. In boreal forests, organic matter accumulates at the surface as mor humus. This may represent a substantial portion of the total nutrient capital of a site, and its…

The lichen woodland is one of the most important forest ecosystems in North America, dominating the central part of the boreal forest. The southernmost lichen woodland is paradoxically in the heart of the southern boreal forest. This distribution prompted this study aiming to…
