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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Sawpalmetto (Serenoa repens (Bartr.)Small) is the major shrub on Florida range, and both mechanical and chemical control have been less than satisfactory. At best plant kill with tandem chopping has been about 80% while herbicidal kill has been about 75%. The purpose of this…

The recent encroachment of woody species threatening many western North American meadows has been attributed to diverse factors. We used a suite of methods in Chittenden Meadow, southwestern British Columbia, Canada, to identify the human, ecological, and physical factors…

The role of wildland fire in the winter habitat use of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) has long been debated. Fire has been viewed as detrimental to caribou because it destroys the slow-growing climax forage lichens that caribou utilize in winter. Other researchers argued that…

Given the stochastic nature of fire ignition and spread, a modeling approach is needed to estimate the range of fire effects possible on current and future landscapes. We are developing a nationwide Fire Scenario Builder (FSB) that creates self-consistent, spatially explicit U.S…
