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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 method of determining moisture content (MC) of wood fuel using a microwave oven for drying the wood was evaluated by drying paired samples of five different wood fuel types in a microwave oven and a conventional oven. When compared to the convention ovendrying method, the…

The burning prescription is an integral part of the silvicultural prescription. Writing these prescriptions for site preparation objectives involves close coordination between the fire manager and silviculturist. A negotiating period during the sale planning process is necessary…

'The performance of common reed, Phragmites australis, was determined in an experimental field over a period of 5 yr. The aim of this study was to establish the effects of various environmental agents that cause damage to the reed. The direct influence of the different kinds of…

The basic thermodynamical processes leading to the formation of droplets in the central part of the Nolan-Pollak counter are analyzed in some detail. The comparison of the UMR-Absolute Aitken Nuclei counter with Nolan-Pollak, General Electric and Gardner counters showed…

In this paper we re-examine the problem of optimal forest fire suppression which was previously studied by Parks. The growth of the fire is modelled by a deterministic differential equation in which the level of the suppression forces appears as a control variable. After…

'Statewide averages of temperature and precipitation, from January l895 to April 1981, were intepolated to a grid and Palmer Drought Severity Indices (PDSI) calculated for each of the grid points. Principal component (PC) analysis was performed on the gridded values of PDSI. By…

'...With the aid of modern laboratory techniques it is possible to detect not only the end products of combustion proccsses but also many substances that appear transiently in the course of burning. As a result fire has come to be understood chemically as an intricate network of…

From the text... 'But with the advent of fire protection in the South, game birds decreased much as pasturage had and as grouse populations had in Britain. The vegetative ensemble that sustained maximum populations gave way to roughage and woods. By 1923 hunting plantations in…

The existing literature on wildland fire is assessed in terms of both the biological and social impacts of prescription fire on recreational wildlands. Gaps in the literature are noted and future areas of needed research are suggested, with particular emphasis on the Rocky…

The results of a 9-year rotational burning study on blueberry fields at the Experimental Project Farm, Alliston, Prince Edward Island, indicated that total fruit production was greater from burning every second year than from every third year. Both burning treatments produced…

It is assumed that the flow of moisture in forest fuels and other woody materials is determined by the gradient of a quantity g which is a function of some property, or properties, of the moisture content. There appears to be no preferred choice for this function, hence moisture…

Mass fires are likely to follow a nuclear attack. Since it is important to the civil defense program to be able to predict rate, duration, and extent of spread of such fires, the Office of Civil Defense, U.S. Department of Defense, issued a joint contract to the Forest Service…

Operational parameters for an S2F airtanker were monitored on a series of wildland fires to verify previous assumptions concerning typical flight envelopes. Results confirmed the validity of the procedure and instrumentation used in obtaining real-time aircraft drop height,…

Interaction models for the dominant crown class were developed for estimating average height to base of crown (crown height) and average crown length (depth) as a function of stand density and average height of dominant trees - for even-aged lodgepole pine stands in Montana,…
