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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From introduction: The Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) fires of 1988 were, in the words of National Park Service (NPS) publications, the most significant ecological event in the history of the national parks (NPS 1988). Their political consequences may be as far-reaching as their…

The recent fire history of northern Quebec biomes (54 000 km2), including the northern Boreal Forest, the southern and northern Forest—Tundra, and the Shrub Tundra, was documented by examining size and dates of 20th century wildfires using tree ring techniques. Results showed…

Forest regeneration in areas burned during the 1950s in northern Quebec was studied along topographic and climatic gradients, from the northern Boreal Forest to the northern Forest-Tundra. Regenerated plant communities are mostly dominated by Cladina mitis in well-drained…

I assessed the current, broad-scale status of populations, research, and management for 6 species of quail in the U.S., and used this information as an introduction, background, and justification for a national strategic planning effort for quail management and research. Long-…

Pollen records from northern Grand Teton National Park, the Pinyon Peak Highlands, and southern Yellowstone National Park were examined to study the pattern of reforestation and climatic change following late-Pinedale Glaciation. The vegetational reconstruction was aided by…

Although many resource professionals believe that periodic fire is necessary to the health of fire-adapted ecosystems, prescribed fire exists only because society allows it. Society has given fire managers the authority to determine if, when, and how prescribed burning takes…

Prescribed burning is being used at Pinery Provincial Park in southern Ontario to restore an oak savanna community which has been changing into a closed oak woodland due to a past policy of fire suppression and conifer reforestation. Quercus muehlenbergii, a shade-intolerant…

Nutrient content and biomass of aboveground annual production, and nutrient content of total aboveground biomass, of 14-year-old assemblages of plants developing on harvested white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) sites were estimated by vegetation harvesting and compared…

A fire of unusually great severity (deep burning) burned across the forest-tundra ecotone near Inuvik, Northwest Territories from August 8 to 18, 1968. Burned-unburned paired study sites around the fire perimeter, which had been established in both tundra and forest-tundra in…

Since 1977, the extent of forest wildfires in the boreal and western regions of North America increased by 6 to 9x over long-term trends, and an estimated 132x106 ha of temperate and boreal forest burned across the northern hemisphere. Emissions during and after burning may have…

1. Pollen analysis of sediment cores from the four zones that comprise the forest-tundra transition in northern Quebec provide a history of the vegetation that can be compared with extensive macrofossil data from the region. Basal radiocarbon dates indicate that the entire reion…

1 The postglacial history of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) at its northernmost distribution limit in the upper boreal forest, along the Grande Riviere de la Baleine (northern Quebec), was reconstructed by using radiocarbon-dated conifer macrofossils found in dune palaeosols…
