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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This report presents photographic examples, tabulations, and a similarity chart to assist fire behavior officers, fuel management specialists, and other field personnel in selecting a fuel model appropriate for a specific field situation. Proper selection of a fuel model is a…

Lichen forage ingestion rates of free-roaming caribou herds in northern Alaska during 1963-1970 were estimated by applying a two-component, eight parameter cesium-137 kinetics model to measured fallout 137Cs concentrations in lichen and caribou. Estimates for winter equilibrium…

Some concerns for managing moose (Alces alces andersoni) habitat in areas of intensive timber harvesting in the moist, temperate western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla)-Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) biome are discussed. Results of field studies on two moose populations on the…

Sitka spruce-western hemlock forests originating from windthrow, logging, or fire display characteristic developmental patterns over time in southeast Alaska. The early stages are the most dynamic, and the most productive for the understory. Understory biomass and production…

From the text... 'Fused inorganic tubes caused by lightning strokes to the ground, called fulgurites, are abundant in many portions of the earth. Ample evidence of fossil fires, called fusain, lies buried in the coal beds of all the coal-forming periods known to geology. For…

Continental populations of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) usually winter in the northern taiga. Fire is a natural feature of the ecology of the taiga but its effect on the winter range of caribou has been the subject of conflicting reports in the literature. Lichens, which are an…

A study was made of buried seeds in 62 cylindrical cores of litter and soil (10 cm diameter X 10 cm depth) collected from 10 sites, on which fires had occurred 42-180 years previously, on upland soil with a vegetation of lichen woodland and a tree canopy of Picea mariana, P.…

Preliminary biological studies of arctic Scolytidae were carried out during a scientific expedition of northwestern Alaska. Eight scolytid species were found associated with Picea glauca and a significant range extension for Dendroctonus punctatus was noted. Ips borealis host…

Agricultural burning in an intensively farmed region within Manitoba's pothole district is shown to affect the nesting activities of ground-nesting ducks. All species, except Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors), preferred unburned nest cover, although success was higher in burned…

An intense fire occurring on a previously established study area in August 1969 reduced the subsequent spring breeding density of spruce grouse (Canachites canadensis) by about 60 percent. At least 35 percent of the adults using the burn in spring-summer 1970 were birds that…

The redistribution of nutrients after fire was examined under laboratory conditions by igniting samples of spruce needles, birch leaves and lichen and leaching the ash through a soil column. Nitrogen was lost from the tissue samples at temperatures above 200 deg C, and 52-88% of…

The information presented is directed to environmental scientists and resource managers concerned with sulfur emissions from combustion processes. Atmospheric chemists believe these emissions accumulate in the stratosphere and affect the earth's radiation balance. Some of these…

Eighteen experimental fires were used to compare measured and calculated values for emission factors and fuel consumption to evaluate the carbon balance technique. The technique is based on a model for the emission factor of carbon dioxide, corrected for the production of other…
