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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

One 20-acre spruce-fir slash block was burned at moderate fire hazard. Weather, fuel-sampling, ignition pattern and fire effects are reported. The burn effectively reduced the slash-fuel-loading to a level where the spread of wildfire through the residual fires is unlikely and…

From the text: 'In my opinion, professional foresters should be working much harder to get the facts across on prescribed burning because if we don't I feel forest management could suffer from restrictive rules or laws, both at the State and Federal level. There are still some…

'The control aspects of fire management from the hand raked fireline to the maintained firebreak can produce form, line, color & texture contrasts. Just as these contrasts can produce undesirable results, they can be used productively. It should be obvious by now that…

Eight species of fungi isolated from a water repellent soil were incubated for varying periods of time in silica sand. In their latter stages of growth. two of the fungi, Aspergillus Sidowi and Penicillium nigricans, caused limited water repellency in the sand. All the fungal…

A procedure for forecasting the 10-hour timelag fuel moisture was developed from the theory of diffusion in wood. Studies of fuel moisture processes relating meteorological variables, as an external force, to moisture exchange processes in wood are combined here to provide a…

A set of value concepts and methods for appraising both values-at-risk and change in value resulting from wildfire are presented. Emphasis is placed on the effects of forest fires in terms of their affects on human and organization goal achievement. Fire effects that help…

Fire management is a much talked about subject these days, but a lot more people are talking about it than practicing it. Although the fire management concept grew out of our traditional fire control activities, significant changes in practice have been excruciatingly slow in…

Livetrapping in black spruce (Picea mariana) taiga 60 km north of Fairbanks, Alaska, during 1972-1973 revealed that the dispersion pattern of the capture points for a population of northern red-backed voles varied greatly with season. The population was distributed without…

Sitka spruce produces twice as many needles per linear inch of twig as western hemlock. Defoliation by the black-headed budworm is more severe on hemlock than spruce because of differences in the phenological development of the hosts and in the feeding behavior of first- and…

Some theory and observations are presented on the factors governing the start and spread of crown fire in conifer forests. Crown fires are classified in three ways according to the degree of dependence of the crown phase of the fire on the ground surface phase. The crown fuel is…

Data from a series of plots in well stocked, even-aged Picea sitchensis/Tsuga heterophylla stands 30-170 years old (that had developed after logging (a), windblow (b) or fire (c) on various freely drained soils) were used to determine a site index based on total height and age…

The principles of ecological succession bear importantly on the relationships between man and nature. The framework of successional theory needs to be examined as a basis for resolving man's present eviromental crisis. Most ideas pertaining to the development of ecological…

In trials in 1973-4 digestibility (in vitro DM disappearance) and levels of CF, CP and minerals were determined in herbage eaten by moose (Alces alces) in the NW Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. There were significant changes in all values between summer and winter in the major browse…

Seedling emergence from organic and mineral soil layers was measured for nine study sites at the Acadia Forest Experiment Station near Fredericton, New Brunswick. The number of viable seeds showed a decrease from deciduous-dominated forest, to conifer-dominated forest, to…
