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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The Vegetation Dynamics Development Tool (VDDT) examines the impact of landscape-scale disturbances while evaluating alternative management treatment levels. VDDT simulates changes in vegetative composition and structure resulting from both management activities and natural…

The classic concept of nutritional carrying capacity tends to complicate management of Dall sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) populations because they often exist at relatively constant populations sizes over extended periods. The fundamental axiom taught in the wildlife management…

In order to define the fire regime in Kenai NWR black spruce forests, a detailed fire and climate history study was undertaken. Utilizing techniques of dendrochronology I dated fire scars, and dated the outer-rings of fire-killed trees (burn poles) within areas of unknown fire…

The seasonal and spatial patterns of dispersal of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) seed were studied from 1986 to 1989 in floodplain stands along the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska. Analysis of the 1987 crop showed that production of filled seed was strongly…

This study concludes that spruce beetles had a substantial immediate influence on forest structure in terms of canopy and basal area reduction, and changes in forest species composition. Factors that increase risk of infestation are also discussed.

The Alaska vegetation classification presented here is a comprehensive, statewide system that has been under development since 1976. The classification is based, as much as possible, on the characteristics of the vegetation itself and is designed to categorize existing…

The Tanana/Michumin Plan (T/M Plan) and subsequent plans radically changed wildfire management in Alaska. The adoption of these cooperative plans created areas where fires were no longer aggressively attacked due to the low economic resource value of those lands. The primary…

As of 1992, beetle-caused spruce mortality ranged from 8 to 68% of the spruce component within 5 sample areas. Continued beetle activity and tree mortality are expected for at least the next two to three years. Management alternatives are discussed.

During the winter of 1981, a windstorm caused extensive blowdown in the Yakutat area. In 1988, 20 permanent plots were established to monitor spruce beetle activity. A reevaluation of these plots in 1991 revealed low spruce beetle populations and minimal tree mortality since…
