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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A hoist–puller (come-along) or a scissor jack can be used to extract stuck increment borers from trees. An electric drill is also helpful for removing jammed wood from the inside of borers.

[First paragraph] Prescribed fire is coming to be recognized as a quantitative factor in natural-resource research, but our inability to control environmental and fire-related variables in natural fires has been a major impediment to interpreting research data. To help remove…

Describes a method for developing a general-purpose ecological model of community types and successional relationships within a forest habitat type (potential vegetation). This model is based upon data collected from a large number of seral stands, and it is intended for use in…

The 'bloom' of annual and perennial plants following fire in the chaparral is well documented, but there is controversy over what factors cause this burst of new growth. I examined the relative importance of fire, competition, and herbivory in seedling germination and…

We present evidence that fire suppression may have contributed to the fungal decline of torreya (Torreya taxifolia). During the 1950's torreya suffered a catastrophic die-back. The torreya die-back was probably caused by needle pathogens induced through environmental stress.…

Canopy closure by trees such as Prunus serotina and p. virginiana is presently threatening the survival of the herbaceous component of an oak savanna in Pinery Provincial Park, Ontario. Prescribed burning has recently been instituted in an attempt to open up the canopy to…
