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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Sections 111 and 112 of the Clean Air Act relative to the control of particulates are evaluated. Section 111 provides the promulgation of standards for hazardous pollutants which reflect the best systems of emission reduction. Section 112 defines national emission standards for…

Open sources are those stationary sources of air pollution too great in extent to be controlled through enclosure or ducting. Open sources of atmospheric particles include: wind erosion, tilling, and prescribed burning of agricultural cropland; surface mining and wind erosion of…

Twelve forest fuels that varied widely in nitrogen content were burned in a thermogravimetric system, and nitrogen oxide production was analyzed by chemiluminescence. The effects of fuel nitrogen concentration, available oxygen, flow rate, and heating rate on nitrogen oxide…

The advancement of technology relating to particulate emission is pointed out as a significant aspect of this nation's air pollution control efforts. Important factors include the ability of particulates: to cause poor visibility, to constitute a health hazard, to act as…

The Chief of the USDA's Forest Service considers fire equal to such perennial controversies as inflation, herbicies, log exports and timber management practices. The revised USFS fire policy calls for fire management; the previous policy specified fire control. The ultimate…

The model was developed from numerical and analytical solutions of the diffusion forms of the mass continuity equation and the first law of thermodynamics. Analytical solutions provided a functional framework to evaluate nonlinear interactions obtained in the numerical solutions…

Rhizome occurrence and root structure of Vaccinium membranaceum were investigated by hydraulic excavation. Numerous, robust rhizomes were present. Taproots were not observed. V. membranaceum rhizomes sprouted vigorously after a light surface fire killed the shoots. They may be…

The author describes a stochastic model of forest stand rotation which can be used to determine the optimal planned rotation interval for flammable forest stands. The model can also be used to estimate the value of fire management activities in terms of the potential enhanced…

The mathematical fire model can be effectively used to predict fire behavior in wildland fuels. In 131 experimental fires, nearly half of the observations were within 25 percent of over- or underprediction, and 95 percent of the differences between predicted and observed values…

In this experimental study we observed how the homogeneous nucleation tendency changed with time as pine needle combustion products were stored in the dark or irradiated. The nucleation tendency decreased during dark storage and then increased and passed through a maximum when…

Threads of continuity ran through this excellent workshop. The workshop was characterized by an abiding interest in a common terminology, concern about scale (how large, or small, an area can be represented), the resolution of data required to make effective management decisions…

A bibliography on forest and rangeland fire history containing 307 references was completed during the winter of 1979 and released in the spring of 1980 (Alexander 1979). Nearly five hundred copies have been issued to date. I have casually kept track of new and overlooked…

Southwestern canyon woodlands, for purposes of this paper, are vegetation types along canyon bottoms for mostly third and fourth order drainages whose streams may be permanent or intermittent. These include habitat types within blue spruce, white fir, ponderosa pine, narrowleaf…

Repeated observations of permanent plots and transects are used to evaluate adaptive responses of individual species and communities of perennial plants following fires that occurred in 1974. Positive adaptations are common, but are weakly developed. Recovery is taking place,…

A teleprinter-type terminal, located in the six Regional offices of the Ministry of Forests, accesses a central computer to allow daily fire weather data to be stored and analyze within a time-frame suitable for making fire management decisions. The data is organized in a manner…

Examination of 30 stands in sub-arctic woodlands showed that most were even-aged, having been established after fires. Most fires killed all trees in the stand, but in some instances some trees survived, indicating light fires. The rare occurrence of uneven-aged stands shows…

Alaskan Salicaceae can be subdivided into two groups on the basis of timing of seed dispersal. The early-seeding species include members of the genus Populus and the majority of Salix species. Late-seeding species include seven members of the genus Salix. On tests of five…
