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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The origin of the savanna biome

Beerling, Osborne
Savannas are a major terrestrial biome, comprising of grasses with the C4 photosynthetic pathway and trees with the C3 type. This mixed grass-tree biome rapidly appeared on the ecological stage 8 million years ago with the near-synchronous expansion of C4 grasses around the…

Synoptic study of the meteorological conditions associated with extreme wildland fire behavior

Brotak, Reifsnyder
Fifty-two major wildland fires in the eastern half of the United States were analyzed to determine the synoptic situations involved. At the surface, 3/4 of the fires were found near frontal areas. The vast majority of fires were associated with the eastern portion of small…

Responses of two Sericoda Kirby, 1837 (Coleoptera: Carabidae) species to forest harvesting, wildfire, and burn severity

Koivula, Cobb, Dechene, Jacobs, Spence
Forest fires are among the most important natural disturbances in the boreal region, but fire-initiated succession is increasingly often interrupted by salvage logging, i.e., post-fire removal of burned trees. Unfortunately, very little is known about the ecological effects of…

Response to the Ingalsbee article in Fire Ecology, Vol. 1, No. 1, April 2005

Terhune
In his article Fuelbreaks for Wildland Fire Management, (Fire Ecology, Vol 1, Nbr 1, April 2005), Timothy Ingalsbee calls for '...wider range of designs, methods, and uses for fuelbreaks than has been offered in the typical fuelbreak proposals of the past.' But then he takes a…
