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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fonda, Varner
This experiment studied burning characteristics of pine cones as a separate fuel component. Cones of fire resisters ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine, longleaf pine, and south Florida slash pine, and cones of fire evaders Monterey pine, knobcone pine, sand pine, and pond pine were…

From introduction: 'Research on fire is often of an applied nature, addressing questions of how to manage landscapes for fire, how to determine fire danger, how to model fire behavior, fire impacts and post-fire succession (Martell 2001; Chuvieco 2003). This in part reflects the…

In the past two decades the ecological relationships among mycophagous (fungus-feeding) mammals and their fungal food resources have been variously investigated. An unresolved issue stemming from this research is the importance of fire in creating and enhancing fungal supply for…

Forest fires are a common disturbance within the boreal ecosystem of the Mackenzie Basin during the warm season. These fires threaten human life, property, and valuable commercial resources, and pose the greatest danger for fire managers. Fire is the dominant disturbance regime…

During each summer of 1997 through 2001, a series of experimental forest fires in Canada's Northwest Territories, collectively known as the International Crown Fire Modelling Experiment (ICFME), provided a unique opportunity to collect emissions that closely represent those of…

Fires play an important role in Canadian forests and are largely influenced by the weather. Any changes in future climate may lead to dramatic changes in future fire activity. We examined what changes in climate might occur due to increased levels of greenhouse gases in the…

Fire in peatlands directly releases carbon to the atmosphere through combustion of biomass. Assuming that 1,470 km2 of peatland burns annually in boreal, continental, western Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba), projected carbon losses of 2.2 to 4.4 kg m2 would result…

Lightning-initiated forest fires are common to the western boreal forest and have important consequences for ecosystem carbon (C) storage in upland systems. Despite the importance of peat-accumulating lowlands to soil C stocks, little is known about contemporary fire frequencies…
