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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Distribution of pine (Pinus spp.) in the south Nahanni and Flat Rivers region, Northwest Territories
Specimens of jack pine (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.), Rocky Mountain lodgepole pine (Pinuscontorta spp. latifolia (Engelm.) Critchfield) and hybrids of those two species were collected in the South Nahanni and Flat Rivers region. Those collections extend the previously known range of…

Mark Finney provides some considerations when setting up FSPro analyses - What is it you want to know from the analysis - is it the likely hood something is going to happen or is it the potential something is going to happen? These are different questions and the analyst can…
