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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 nonvascular (lichens and bryophytes) and vascular plant composition of the early regenerating vegetation present following wildfires and clear-cut logging has been compared separately in three areas of the black spruce (Picea mariana)/feathermoss (Pleurozium schreberi)…

Several methods are available for estimating the moisture content of 10-h response time fuels in the U.S. National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS). These fuels are represented by an array of four 1.27 cm diameter ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) dowels weighing…

Recent modelling results indicate that forest fires and other disturbances determine the magnitude of the Canadian forest carbon balance. The regeneration of post-fire vegetation is key to the recovery of net primary productivity (NPP) following fire. The study geographically co…

In the boreal forests of North America, fire is the keystone ecosystem process that organizes the physical and biological attributes of the biome over most of its range. Boreal forest ecosystem structure and function are described in terms of the adaptations evolved in response…

In fiscal year 1998, the USDA Forest Service reported that approximately 770,000 hectares (1.9 million acres) of state and private lands burned in the preceding year. Total presuppression and suppression costs were a hefty $585 million. As large as that sum was, it was still…

The restoration of fire to its natural role in wilderness has proven to be a significant challenge to the United States Federal wilderness management agencies. Although both natural (lightning) ignitions and management-ignited fires have been generally accepted as appropriate…

Despite clear legislative and policy direction to preserve natural conditions in wilderness, the maintenance of fire as a natural process has proven to be a significant challenge to federal land managers. As of 1998, only 88 of the 596 designated wilderness areas in the United…

Federal fire management agencies are required by policy to conduct a Wildland Fire Situation Analysis (WFSA) for all fire incidents that have not been suppressed by initial attack efforts. A survey-based study of senior fire and natural resource managers revealed that while the…

A comprehensive investigation of Canadian boreal forest fires was conducted using NOAA-AVHRR imagery. Alogorithms were developed to (1) detect active forest fires, (2) map burned areas on daily and annual basis, and (3) estimate fire emissions based on burned area and Canadian…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the short and long-term impacts of wildfire in the boreal forests of Interior Alaska. Our working hypothesis is that wildfire affects the short- and long-term ground thermal regime and soil moisture content in different ways with…
