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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The location, cause, frequency, size, rotation times, and seasonal timing of tundra fires in the Noatak River watershed of northwestern Alaska were determined from Bureau of Land Management fire records for 1956-83 and satellite (LANDSAT) 1:1 000 000 scale, black and white, band…

The dynamics of the fine forest fuel's response to moisture changes have not been fully recognized. Fire behavior systems now in use consider all fine fuels to have a 1-hour response time. Experimental results of testing a wide range of fine fuels show the change in moisture…

[From the Introduction] Fire as a landscape process is of broad interest to ecologists and land managers. Fires alter forest age-distributions (Heinselman, 1973; Van Wagner, 1978), are sensitive to climate (Balling et al., 1992, Swetnam and Bettancourt, 1990; Swetnam, 1993;…

The quantity of dead and downed woody fuels in forests is commonly estimated using the line intersect method of sampling. Determination of the mass of wood per unit area for each size class requires values for the mean specific gravity, piece tilt angle and piece diameter. We…

Intense wildfire is more destructive to the forest floor than timber harvesting with potentially more impact on fungal communities as loss of forest floor structure, microhabitat and resource diversity is more extreme after wildfire. After intense wildfire, decomposer and EM…
