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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Alaskan Salicaceae can be subdivided into two groups on the basis of timing of seed dispersal. The early-seeding species include members of the genus Populus and the majority of Salix species. Late-seeding species include seven members of the genus Salix. On tests of five…

Livetrapping in black spruce (Picea mariana) taiga 60 km north of Fairbanks, Alaska, during 1972-1973 revealed that the dispersion pattern of the capture points for a population of northern red-backed voles varied greatly with season. The population was distributed without…

Some theory and observations are presented on the factors governing the start and spread of crown fire in conifer forests. Crown fires are classified in three ways according to the degree of dependence of the crown phase of the fire on the ground surface phase. The crown fuel is…

During a 4-year period the biomass and mass of selected chemical elements were measured in litter fall from young, intermediate, and mature age classes of quaking aspen and paper birch in interior Alaska. Average annual deposition of biomass and mass of Mg, Fe, and Mn were…

In trials in 1973-4 digestibility (in vitro DM disappearance) and levels of CF, CP and minerals were determined in herbage eaten by moose (Alces alces) in the NW Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. There were significant changes in all values between summer and winter in the major browse…

Seedling emergence from organic and mineral soil layers was measured for nine study sites at the Acadia Forest Experiment Station near Fredericton, New Brunswick. The number of viable seeds showed a decrease from deciduous-dominated forest, to conifer-dominated forest, to…

Trend of the Nelchina caribou range was determined from vegetation examinations of 36 ten and fifteen year old exclosures. Condition of climax lichen stands, primarily Cladonia alpestris, began to degenerate with two to three years of use and has declined substantially in the…

Five 7.3m x 7.3m exclosures were constructed on winter range following grazing. All feeding craters within the sites were permanently marked. The exclosures were later examined, disassembled and the crater outlines super-imposed on vegetation maps. The procedure was repeated on…

This study focuses on the behavior and mechanics of winter feeding in caribou as they relate to the energetics involved. Time-energy budgets show that the caribou calf spends less time than adults in digging for food but benefits from the displacement of its cow from feeding…
