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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Old-growth forests of the Canadian Rocky Mountain National Parks

Achuff
The Canadian Rocky Mountain national parks comprise Waterton Lakes, Banff, and Jasper national parks in Alberta, and Kootenay and Yoho national parks in British Columbia. The forested landscape is divided into montane and subalpine ecoregions (zones) based primarily of forest…

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…

Using motion pictures for data collection on prescribed burning experiments

Pickford, Sandberg
A simple, inexpensive, and relatively accurate photographic method for date collection is described. Objects of interest are triangulated from films taken simultaneously at two camera positions. Accumulated synchronization and measurement errors amounted to 0.2 - 0.5 meter. The…

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…

An advisory expert system for designing fire prescriptions

Reinhardt, Wright, Jackson
Prescribed fire is used to manipulate forest ecosystems to accomplish a variety of resource management objectives. To develop prescriptions that successfully achieve these objectives, managers use information from a variety of sources. These include results of scientific…

Light, ash, and pH effects on the germination and seedling growth of Typha latifolia (cattail)

Rivard, Woodard
Fire is a natural process that opens Typha latifolia L. stands by removing aboveground biomass, but little is known about how ash resulting from marsh burning affects Typha seed germination. We measured the response of T. latifolia seed to simulated pre- and post-fire effects…
