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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Analysis of caribou fecal samples from 4 distinct caribou wintering areas revealed expected relative percentage use of lichens among the areas. Additional uses of fecal analysis include identification of most major plant groups in the diet, detection of trends in condition in…

Dispersal of 1- to 3-year-old moose from a low density, but rapidly growing, moose population was investigated. Radio-collars were placed on 17 offspring of previously radio-collared adult cows. Comparison of home ranges of independent off spring and their respective dams…

The rate of energy expenditure by caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) digging in snow for lichens was determined by heart rate telemetry and an analysis of cratering mechanics. Based on significant linear relationship between energy expenditure and heart rate, the mean cost per…

Plant palatability frequently moderates vertebrate herbivore forage selection patterns. There is, however, considerable debate as to which plant chemical characteristics control palatability. On the one hand, forage proximal nutritional quality is believed to be of primary…
