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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Mid- to late-Holocene carbon balance in arctic Alaska and its implications for future global warming

Marion, Oechel
In the event of global warming, there is considerable uncertainty whether northern ecosystems will act as an atmospheric CO2 sink or source. This study examines Holocene rates of soil carbon accumulation along a latitudinal transect in northern Alaska as an analogue for future…

Pattern of occurrence of fires in spontaneous forests of northwestern taiga landscapes

Gromtsev
Fire layers in peat columns from bogs, and carbon layers in soil trenches on dry ground were used to analyse the pattern of occurrence of fires in natural spruce [Picea abies] and pine [Pinus sylvestris] boreal forests of Karelia during the last 3000-6000 years. Results of the…

Surface water chemistry of burned and undisturbed watersheds on the Boreal Plain: an ecoregion approach

Allen, Prepas, Gabos, Strachan, Chen
The water chemistry of the euphotic zone in 12 lakes within burned and reference watersheds on Alberta's Boreal Plain was surveyed two years post-fire. Five burned and four reference lakes were located in the Boreal Foothills (mean elevation=1048 m) and three reference lakes…

Non-local chemistry implementation in HIGRAD/FIRETEC

Colman, Linn
In order to study the interactions between the important processes within a wildland fire, Los Alamos National Laboratory and the USDA Forest Service are continuing to develop the HIGRAD/FIRETEC wildfire behavior model. HIGRAD/FIRETEC is a coupled atmosphere/wildfire behavior…
