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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Optimizing initial attack effectiveness by using performance measures

Kirsch, Rideout
Increased scruitiny of federally funded programs combined with changes in fire management has created a demand for a new fire program analysis model. There is now a need for a model that displays tradeoffs between initial attack effectiveness and alternative funding levels. The…

Integrated timber harvest and fire management planning

Acuna, Palma, Weintraub, Martell, Cui
Harvest planners often consider potential fire losses and timber production plans can influence fire management, but most timber harvest planning and fire management planning activities are carried out largely independently of each other. But road construction, timber harvesting…

Prediction errors in wildland fire situation analyses

Donovan, Noordijk
From the text ... 'Wildfires consume budgets and put the heat on fire managers to justify and control suppression costs. ...We used data from the 2002 fire season to determine how WFSA-predicted outcomes compared to actual outcomes. ...Fire managers often underestimated the…

Tetranucleotide, trinucleotide, and dinucleotide loci from the bobcat (Lynx rufus)

Faircloth, Reid, Valentine, Eo, Terhune, Glenn, Palmer, Nairn, Carroll
We describe primers and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions to amplify four dinucleotide, one trinucleotide, and three tetranucleotide microsatellite DNA loci from the bobcat (Lynx rufus). The primers were tested on 22 individuals collected from a population located…

Long-term monitoring of post-fire aboveground biomass recovery in a lowland dipterocarp forest in East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Toma, Ishida, Matius
Between 1988 and 2000, changes in the above-ground biomass (AGB) of trees in an East Kalimantan lowland forest, damaged by fires in 1982-83 and 1998, were estimated using allometric functions and an annual inventory of stem diameter. The original vegetation of the study site was…

Effects of fire return rates on traversability of lodgepole pine forests for mountain pine beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) and the use of patch metrics to estimate traversability

Barclay, Li, Benson, Taylor, Shore
Monte-Carlo simulation was used to examine the effects of fire return rates on the equilibrium age structure of a one-million-hectare lodgepole pine forest (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm. ex S. Wats.; Pinaceae) and yielded a mosaic of ages over the one million hectares…
