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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Survival and growth of planted black spruce, alder, aspen and willow after fire on black spruce/feather moss sites in interior Alaska

Zasada, Norum, Teutsch, Densmore
Seedlings of black spruce, aspen, green alder, and grayleaf willow planted on black spruce/feather moss sites in the boreal forest in interior Alaska survived and grew relatively well over a 6-year period after prescribed burning. Survival of black spruce was significantly…

Age and size structure of marginal disjunct populations of Pinus resinosa

Butson, Knowles, Farmer
SUMMARY: ( 1) Samples of three naturally occurring, disjunct stands of Pinus resinosa Ait. (red pine) located in the general vicinity of Lake Nipigon, Ontario were mapped, cored for age-estimation, and measured for growth in diameter. (2) The two most western populations showed…

Postfire black spruce establishment in subarctic and boreal Quebec

Sirois, Payette
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…

Postfire lichen-spruce woodland recovery at the limit of the boreal forest in northern Quebec

Morneau, Payette
A 250-year postfire plant chronosequence in well-drained sites at the northern limit of the Boreal Forest in the Grande riviere de la Baleine area, northern Quebec, was reconstructed from nine sites associated with the development of the Caldina stellaris-spruce woodland. Most…

Predicting the spread of disturbance across heterogeneous landscapes

Turner, Gardner, Dale, O'Neill
The expected pattern of disturbance propagation across a landscape was studied by using simple landscape models derived from percolation theory. The spread of disturbance was simulated as a function of the proportion of the landscape occupied by the disturbance-prone habitat and…
