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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Floral and faunal composition phenology, and fire in the Aripo Scientific Reserve, Trinidad, West Indies

Schwab
This study was designed to update and expand our knowledge of the proposed Aripo Savannas Scientific Reserve. The information provided by this study is requisite for any management plan which encourages preservation of the area's native plant and animal communities. The thesis…

Landscape disturbance models and the long-term dynamics of natural areas [abstract]

Turner, Romme, Gardner
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…

The role of fire suppression in the catastrophic decline of the endangered conifer, Torreya taxifolia [abstract]

Schwartz, Hermann
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.…

Post-fire regeneration of Prunus serotina and P. virginiana in a southern Ontario oak savanna [abstract]

Morber, Miyanishi
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…

Demographic structure of fire-prone chaparral in the long absence of fire [abstract]

Keeley
Mortality patterns are diverse for chaparral shrubs under periods > 100 years without fire. Ceanothus often suffer the highest mortality under extended fire-free conditions and this is best interpreted as density dependent thinning rather than senescence. Intraspecific…

Understory vegetation changes following fire in the southern boreal forest [abstract]

De Grandpre, Gagnon
The changes observed in the composition and abundance of shrubs, herbs and mosses were investigated following fire in the southern boreal forest of the Abitibi region, Quebec. Ten plots of 100m2 were sampled at each of eight sites varying in age from 26 to 230 years after fire (…

A dimensionless correlation for the spread of wind-driven fires

Nelson, Adkins
Data for the behavior of 59 experimental wind-driven fires were extracted from the literature for use in determining a correlation among several variables known to influence the rate of forest fire spread. Also included in the correlation were unpublished data from six field…
