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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Moose and fire on the Kenai

Spencer, Hakala
From the 'Summary of Fire and Moose Relationships ... 1. Vegetation immediately following the 1947 Burn was largely determined by the previous stand. Revegetation was through both vegetative and seeding reproduction. Types following the fire were numerous and variable in…

Soil heat penetration and predicted postfire understory regeneration [abstract]

Flinn
Heat penetration into a standard medium (dry and wet sand) as well as black spruce and hardwood soils was examined in the laboratory. Tautochrones for 70-minute dry and moist conditions in sand indicated that temperatures greater than 55C (taken here to be lethal) were recorded…
