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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This is a draft of the Release Notes for Prognosis Model version 6.0. Ultimately, this report will be expanded into a complete user's manual for the Forest Vegetation Simulator. Prognosis Model Version 6.0 predicts forest stand development. Stand growth predictions are based on…

Although the Stand Prognosis Model has several stochastic components, features have been included in the model in an attempt to minimize run-to-run variation attributable to these stochastic components. This has led many users to assume that comparisons of management…

The Parallel Processing Extension (PPE) of the Prognosis Model was designed to analyze responses of numerous stands to coordinated management and pest impacts that operate at the landscape level of forests. Vegetation-related resource supply analysis can be readily performed for…

In the past it was not uncommon to close access to large areas of the mountains for long periods of time because of avalanche dangers. Now, modern management of mountainous areas is requiring roads to be kept open longer, larger areas for skiing be available, and safe…

Biomass burning is a major source of emissions to the atmosphere. Some of these emissions may change global climate. This paper uses combustion efficiency as an independent variable for predicting emission factors for, among others, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and…

An analytical model of disturbance and plant population dynamics is developed to explore the optimal life history for a plant within a "shifting mosaic" meta-population. The population dynamics consist of short-lived recruitment events followed by longer intervals of thinning.…

[From introduction] What are the proper fire regimes for our diverse wilderness ecosystems? How and why have the frequency and behavior of fire changed through time? How have human activities such as a century of fire exclusion, landscape fragmentation, and alteration of…

The distribution of individual species and of vegetation types offers clues to the amoral role of fire in the native temperate forests of what are now the 48 contiguous United States. Through the selective process, fire has helped adapt species. Similarly it has played a part in…

Frandsen, Rothermel
The intensity of a combustion wave moving through a porous, homogeneous fuel array is an important, but poorly defined, concept of fire behavior. Rothermel [1] suggests the term 'reaction intensity' for the energy-release rate, which is related to the rate of fuel consumption…

Over the course of the last two decades there has been a recurring theme among proponents of the National Park Service mission that politics has undermined the day-to-day goals of the Service. With the increased politization of the Park Service, two recent proposals have called…

Prevention of apothecial formation in Gloeotinia temulenta (blind seed disease) was studied in a greenhouse by application of 28 systemic adn 26 protectant fungicides over infected seeds of Lolium perenne. For complete or a high degree of apothecial suppression, effective…

The effects of logging on three species of common skinks were estimated from censuses in four age classes of forest: unlogged, just logged, 1-year logged and 10-15 year regrowth. The effects of topography (ridge and gully) were examined in each age class. A fire in November 1980…

After a long lasting study of a great number of Pinus halepensis, P. brutia and P. nigra trees which were burnt or damaged by the developed high temperatures during forest fires in Greece, there were identiifed 24 species of bark and wood boring insects. Except one hymenopterous…

We investigated the effect of slashing and burning a tropical forest on native ant populations in the State of Chiapas, Mexico. We sampled ant populations one month after the forest was burned and compared species present with species occurring in the adjacent forest. We found…
