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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Development of equations for prediciting fuel bed depth (called 'bulk depth' herein) appropriate for modeling fire behavior in slash is described. Bulk depth (y) was correlated with the expected number of 1/4-to 1-inch-diameter particle intercepts per foot of vertical plane…

Damage appraisal is the basis for fire-suppression decisions. Where timber is managed for production of maximum site rent, appraisal is a rather straightforward matter of applying standard financial criteria in a 'with and without' procedure. Where the aim is maximum mean annual…

From the conclusion:'As previously mentioned, the results of this study cannot be applied in the field. A great deal of additional work will be needed before application is possible. This study does show, however, that a systems dynamics approach is well suited to analyzing the…

From the text:'In conclusion I would like to emphasize that the use to which fire ecology work is to be put must be kept in mind, namely to predict postfire vegetation development for an ecologic-economic input into fire and land management decision-making. This cannot be done…

The effect of broadcast slash burning on the cost of planting a recently logged area of over—mature coastal hemlock—balsam—cedar forest was examined. Planting output and costs were measured before and after burning the same area. Three planting methods were used: bareroot/…

Laminated sediment (presumed varved) from Greenleaf Lake was examined for evidence of forest fires. A 500-year section dating approximately 770—1270 AD. was analysed for influx of pollen, charcoal, aluminum, and vanadium using decadal samples. Intervals showing concurrent peaks…

The effect of flame size on the relative contributions of luminous (soot) radiation and nonluminous (molecular band) radiation is calculated for typical combustion conditions. It is found that for small flames nonluminous radiation is dominant while for larger flames, both…
