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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Numerical modelling of the aerial drop of firefighting agents by fixed-wing aircraft. Part II: model validation

Amorim
The validation of the Aerial Drop Model consisted of the comparison of computed ground patterns with experimental data from a set of real-scale drop tests using water and a wide range of fire retardant viscosities. Results were analyzed in terms of pattern length and area. A…

Numerical modelling of the aerial drop of firefighting agents by fixed-wing aircraft. Part I: model development

Amorim
The efficiency of the aerial drop of firefighting agents (water and retardants) is extremely dependent on pilot skills in dealing with complex atmospheric conditions, mostly because on-board systems for computer-assisted drops have not yet been used operationally. Hence,…

Relative importance of weather and climate on wildfire growth in interior Alaska

Abatzoglou, Kolden
Efforts to quantify relationships between climate and wildfire in Alaska have not yet explored the role of higher-frequency meteorological conditions on individual wildfire ignition and growth. To address this gap, meteorological data for 665 large fires that burned across the…

Preburn history and seasonal burning effects on the soil seed bank in the Fescue Prairie

Romo, Gross
Fescue Prairie is one of the most threatened ecosystems in Canada, and burning is essential for conserving remnants of this grassland. Burning is a key process in the natural disturbance regime, but its effect on the soil seed bank in Fescue Prairie is poorly understood. We…

Tetranucleotide, trinucleotide, and dinucleotide loci from the bobcat (Lynx rufus)

Faircloth, Reid, Valentine, Eo, Terhune, Glenn, Palmer, Nairn, Carroll
We describe primers and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions to amplify four dinucleotide, one trinucleotide, and three tetranucleotide microsatellite DNA loci from the bobcat (Lynx rufus). The primers were tested on 22 individuals collected from a population located…

Fire Management in Parks and Protected Areas

Kilgore, Christensen, Aplet, Wilmer, Stephens, Ruth, Hardesty, Myers, Fulks
[Excerpted from the introduction to the issue] When national parks were originally establishde in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s, most people thought you simply needed to protect them as they were, with nochanges over time, to achieve the objective of…

Effects of fire return rates on traversability of lodgepole pine forests for mountain pine beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) and the use of patch metrics to estimate traversability

Barclay, Li, Benson, Taylor, Shore
Monte-Carlo simulation was used to examine the effects of fire return rates on the equilibrium age structure of a one-million-hectare lodgepole pine forest (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm. ex S. Wats.; Pinaceae) and yielded a mosaic of ages over the one million hectares…

Lodgepole pine forest age class dynamics and susceptibility to mountain pine beetle attack

Li, Barclay, Hawkes, Taylor
Because mountain pine beetle attack mature pine stands, an understanding of forest age class dynamics is important to managing forests within the distribution of the beetle. The assumed theoretical negative exponential forest age distribution provides an estimate when ecosystem…
