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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A description is given of the FIRE MOUSE TRAP (FMT - Flying Infrared Enhanced Manoeuvrable Operational User Simple Electronic Tactical Reconnaissance and Patrol) system for mapping forest fires, which was first used experimentally in Alaska in 1985. Forward looking infrared…

Respiration rates and mass losses of decomposing pine (Pinus contorta Loud. X P. banksiana Lamb.) and aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) leaf litter were compared in laboratory microcosms for a range of temperature and moisture levels. For both litter types, a pair of high-…

The relative importance of nitrogen inputs from atmospheric depositions and biological fixation is reviewed in a number of diverse, non-agricultural terrestrial ecosystems. Rates of both symbiotic and nonsymbiotic fixation appear to be greater during early succession stages of…

The increasing incidence and severity of wildfires underscores the necessity of accurately predicting their behavior. While high-fidelity models derived from first principles offer physical accuracy, they are too computationally expensive for use in real-time fire response. Low-…

There is a dire need to improve our prediction capabilities of wildland fire behavior in a range of conditions from marginal burning to the most extreme. In order to develop a more physically-based operational wildland fire behavior model, we need to improve our understanding of…

Fire links the biosphere and the atmosphere. The linkage is, as yet, poorly quantified. Evidence suggests that a few percent of total C fixed by photosynthesis is oxidized by burning. Biomass burning seems to be globally significant in terms of associated: • Releases of trace…

We used data on 2356 trees from 43 prescribed fires in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington states to model postfire tree mortality. Data were combined for seven species of conifers to develop binary logistic regression models for predicting the probability of mortality.…

Wildfire spread models that couple physical transport and chemical kinetics sometimes simplify or neglect gas-phase pyrolysis product oxidation chemistry. However, empirical evidence suggests that oxygen (O2) is available for gas-phase and solid-phase combustion within the…
