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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Moose (Alces alces) are the largest surviving land mammals in the circumpolar boreal forests and the largest living representatives of the deer family (Cervidae). The weights of adult bulls in Alberta averaged 477 kg in early winter when adult females averaged 402 kg (Canadian…

Spruce bark beetle activity was monitored over 14 years on a transect through a mixed white spruce stand on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Data confirmed bark beetle preference for attacking large-diameter, slow-growing spruce. Increased bark beetle activity was noted on north…

Wildfires have been though to increase primary productivity in tussock tundra as well as in other ecosystems. Wein and Bliss (1973) measured net aboveground primary production in four recently burned areas of tussock tundra in northern Canada and Alaska and compared it with…

The demography, movement and behaviour patterns of eight caribou populations (Kaminuriak, Nelchina, Central Arctic, Fortymile, Porcupine, British Columbia, Newfoundland, and Snowhetta) exposed to industrial activities or transportation corridors are reviewed. Behaviour patterns…

Postfire recovery of biomass and soil organic pools was measured in a sequence of 10 subarctic lichen woodlands aged from 0 to 140 years. Less than one-tenth of total live biomass combusted at the time of burning. Aboveground biomass combustion of species ranged from nil to over…

The calculation of heat release rate by oxygen consumption is based on the assumption that all materials release approximately the same amount of heat per unit mass of oxygen consumed. This technique is now being employed to determine the heat release rate of materials in…

From the text...'This paper deals with certain fragments of carbon and interprets them as fossil charcoal produced by fire. This is no new idea; it was warmly put forward and warmly opposed a century ago, but of late interest has died because of lack of fresh evidence. Such…
