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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A simple, inexpensive, and relatively accurate photographic method for date collection is described. Objects of interest are triangulated from films taken simultaneously at two camera positions. Accumulated synchronization and measurement errors amounted to 0.2 - 0.5 meter. The…

Prescribed fire planners working in the boreal mixedwood slash of the Northern Clay Belt Region face some unique problems not associated with other drier sites in Ontario. At times, poor fuel continuity and poor drainage can be major impediments to fire spread. Guidelines for…

Wild Turkeys in the United States were very abundant in colonial times, declined drastically in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and have recently made a remarkable comeback. Suitability of eastern wilderness areas as Wild Turkey habitat depends on conditions in and around…

From the Summary ... 'Fire, whether wild or controlled, has been shown to benefit big game in a variety of ways. Following fire, understory vegetation usually reestablishes more luxuriant than before, often increasing carrying capacity for big game several-fold. In addition, new…

From the Discussion and Summary ... 'The data and observations presented here are fragmentary and are not adequate to establish that smoke from wildfires or prescribed burns markedly affects microbial activity in wildland plant communities. They suggest, however, that such…

From the Summary and Conclusions ... 'Large wildfires in the early 1900's burned over many of the low elevation forests in northern Idaho. Seral plant communities of grasses, forbs, and shrubs followed these wildfires and created important big game winter ranges. Redstem…
