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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text:'The purpose of this mimeograph is to indicate the importance of time in the effects of heat upon wood rather than to present specific values for ignition temperatures or to recommend methods for determining such tempertures.'

Detailed analysis of the forest fire experience for a period of years is vital to an accurate appraisal of forest protection needs in any region. Such an analysis must include: 1. A survey of the property values to be protected, and the isolation of the most important features…

'The smoke generated when wood is heated in air contains a considerable range of compounds resulting from the distillation and degradation of celluloses, lignins, resins and tannins. Visible particles which are formed when the smoke cools appear to equilibriate rapidly with the…

Preliminary investigations in the detection of forest fires at the California Forest and Range Experiment Station were based on the assumption that the visibility of smoke columns in the field would vary as the visibility of the landscape with varying conditions of atmospheric…

Piling and burning reduced fires hazard immediately, but costs twice as much as lopping and scattering, and creates unfavorable soil conditions under piles. Neither lopping and scattering nor piling have enough advantage over pulling tops to defray the cost. THere is little fire…

[from the text] No apology is needed for scrutinizing any part of the history of man, anywhere, if insight can be gained into culture processes. Indeed, the study of human populations is regarded as having some relation in kind and in method to the general problem of organic…

A direct method for determining soil drought resistance to supplement field tests is described. Grass seedlings are grown for 6 to 8 weeks in the greenhouse and then given a soil drought treatment lasting from 6 to 9 days by placing them in a chamber designed to maintain…
