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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 Introduction: 'Forest fire control agencies in Canada keep records of fire occurrences. Generally, these records summarize the characteristics of individual forest fires and are often stored on a computer-oriented device, usually magnetic tape. From these records, a…

Prescribed burning is a preferred treatment in many fuel management situations because of its low cost, campatibility with other land-use objectives, and little or not undesirable side effects. The problems, limitations, and associated consequences of fire treatments are…

An inexpensive and simple technique for measuring the average wind velocity in the lower 600 m of the atmosphere is proposed. The technique uses 30-g pilot balloons filled with helium. Final position of the balloon is measured by a clinometer and a compass--instruments which are…

Rhizina undulata Fr. occurred on about one-third of the 160 logging sites sampled 1 year after each area was burned. Three years after burning, apothecia were rarely found. The fungus causes mortality of seedlings planted on burned sites. Severity of attack within a seedling…

The existing levels of fire protection expenditures, if considered adequate by the forest manager, give an idea of the nonwood values of a forest as seen by him. The decisions regarding future protection expenditures can be improved by considering them together with the…

Discusses (with particular reference to conditions in Alaska) the value of occasional small fires in burning undergrowth and litter to prevent the accumulation of inflammable material and the risk of major damage, the erosion likely to be caused by using bulldozers to make fire…

[From the text] Fire has been an integral part of America's wildlands for millions of years. The only environments not experiencing fire as a significant ecological factor were those that remained very cold, very wet, or very dry, and even in these regions, extreme variation in…
