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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 describes permanent plot establishment and gives current spruce beetle population levels in the Yakutat Forelands. Plots were established in areas where over 20% of the spruces have died. Live spruce beetle broods were found in 4% of the plot trees, indicating that…

With the adoption of the National Fire Danger Rating System in Alaska, the entire State now has a common method of rating forest fire danger for all proctection agencies. Uniformity such as this was one of the primary reasons for the development of a national system. Compared…

The forest resources of this country must be protected from wildfire. Protection does not eliminate fire but does reduce loss from fire. In recent years, more acres have been burned on the unprotected 3 percent of forest land than on the 97 percent under organized fire…

We examined the ways grizzly bears (Ursus arctos), wolves (Canis lupus), and black bears (Ursus americanus), and humans affected moose (Alces alces) numbers in a 6,310-km2 area in the southwest Yukon during 1983/85. We documented pregnancy rates, birth rates, and causes and…

Spruce beetles (Dendroctonus rufipennis) concentrate early attacks on an initial tree, the 'focus' tree, but later attacks occur on adjacent trees, 'recipient' trees. The pattern of these initial and following attacks may provide a key for management approaches to deal with…

A 5-year (1984-88) study of fire costs and acreages burned under fire plans in Alaska was conducted by the Bureau of Land Management. Effects of classification and management of suppression areas as critical protection, full protection, modified action, and limited action are…

Responses of radio-collared moose (Alces alces) to a 500-km2 burn in central Alaska were described using prefire and postfire movements. Moose with low prefire contact with the burned area increased use following the fire. Increased use resulted from moose shifting home ranges…

Intervals between fires, tree blowdowns, and other large and small forest disturbances are often estimated by dating tree rings. Dates are taken from living trees, fallen logs or stumps, or other indicators such as peaks in tree age distributions and ages of understory plants…

Canadian fire control agencies use either simple interpolation methods or none at all in estimating fire danger between weather stations. We compare several methods of interpolation and use the fire weather index in the North Central Region of Ontario as a case study. Our work…

Estimation of moose density ranged between 18 and 20 animals/10 km2 boreal area of eastern Quebec that has been excluded from hunting for many decades. Moose were sedentary; 81% of telemetry locations of 12 adults (6 of each sex) that were captured in the area were within the…
