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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

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…

Statistical comparisons between tree-ring width sequences and climatic records provide a means of identifying climatic limitations on tree growth and allow the reconstruction of past climates. This information is especially important in the North American sub-Arctic where…

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…

Several methods currently exist for describing the moisture content of an atmosphere or of a material. These are defined and their significance is analyzed. Terms are established and methods of measurement are indicated under varying conditions. Test methods are discussed and…

Nylon and fiberglass bags containing 5 grams of air-dry, black spruce needles, when placed on the feather-moss-covered floor of an upland black spruce stand, which had been thinned and clear-cut, showed losses in weight, at the end of two grwoing seasons, of up to 34%. The…

A diffusion flame burner was operated to determine the effect of several parameters on the quality of NOx and unburned hydrocarbons produced. The statistical analysis indicated the unburned hydrocarbon emissions to be dependent upon the rate of heat release in the system, the…

Changes are reported in levels of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in leaves and connecting branches following an experimental, high intensity, autumn burn. Following canopy temperatures reaching at least 50 C, reduced levels of nitrogen and phosphorus were found in leaves…

In order to estimate the production of charcoal and the atmospheric emissions of trace gases volatilized by burning we have estimated the global amounts of biomass which are affected by fires. We have roughly calculated annual gross burning rates ranging between about 5 Pg and 9…
