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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 the Conclusions ... 'These patterns of frontal movements and correlated lightning fires and the data upon which they are based lead me to four conclusions.1. The lightning potential over North America is extremely large although virtually unknown.2. That thunderstorms may…

The temperature of 18 fires in an open jack pine barren near Timmins, Ontario, have been recorded. The maximum temperature recorded was 545 degrees C, although in other determinations fire temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees C were reached. The mean temperatures of all fires…

The results of controlled burning on cut-over jack pine sites in southeastern Manitoba can be summarized as follows: (1) The fire hazard resulting from jack pine slash was eliminated on all the areas burned. (2) On most areas a good proportion of the organic material was removed…

The the Challenge Experimental Forest, 29 acres of slash were broadcast burned on five small clearcut plots (2 to 10 acres) at a cost of $57.00 per acre. Fuel-weight measurements showed reductions of 68 to 84% after the burn. Modifications to plot size, shape, and orientation…

Holocene fossil pollen data of fine temporal and spatial resolution were obtained from two small, closed lake basins in southern Ontario, Canada. Forest development is recorded in the pollen sequences, which document the invasion and expansion of tree populations during the…

Most FVS insect and disease model extensions are a blend of process modeling and empirical relationships. Because of the process elements, insect and disease models can present unexpected results when simulated conditions are unlike those tested when the model was developed.…

The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS), coupled with a new key to structural classes, provided an empirical link between the Columbia River Basin SUccessional Model (CRBSUM) and the real world. The essence of CRBSUM is a set of residence times and disturbance probabilities for…

Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) multipliers permit the user to tailor model performances to simulate almost any management scenario. Unfortunately, the intuitively logical choice of multipliers is not always the corrent choice and could result in biologically impossible…
