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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Forest Ecosystem Classification (FEC) systems have been used in the past mainly for forest management decision-making. FEC systems can also serve an important role for decision-making in other disciplines, such as fire management for both wildfire suppression and prescribed…

Analyses of pollen, plant macrofossils, macroscopic charcoal, mollusks, magnetic susceptibility, and geochemical content of a sediment core from Farewell Lake yield a 11,000-yr record of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem changes in the northwestern foothills of the Alaska Range…

A hand-held, battery-powered Fourier transform infrared spectroradiometer weighing 12.5 kg has been developed for the field measurement of spectral radiance from the Earth's surface and atmosphere in the 3-5-µm and 8-14-µm atmospheric windows, with a 6-cm -1 spectral resolution…

Waterfowl brood surveys were conducted in the Pah River Flats, Alaska during July of 1995. Duck production was not significantly different between plots burned in a 1992 wildfire and unburned plots for the third year following the burn. Fire did not produce any statistically…

The Canadian boreal forest is comprised largely of even-aged stands that for millennia have undergone cycles of disturbance (i.e., fires or insect-induced stand mortality) and regrowth. Previous studies of regional-scale carbon (C) budgets have assumed that, when averaged over a…

1 The effects of catchment fire on lake Pieni Majaslampi are examined by means of geochemical, charcoal, pollen, and diatom analyses of surface sediments. Particular emphasis is paid to pH responses in this naturally acid, weakly buffered, small-catchment lake. 2 An increase of…
