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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This report gives the results of a telephone survey of 400 Kenai Peninsula households and 100 Anchorage households regarding management of the 700,000 acres of spruce beetle-impacted lands on the Kenai Peninsula. This represents about 35% of the forested lands on the peninsula.

The behavior of single point-ignition and line-ignition experimental fires was studied in upland black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.)-lichen (Stereocaulon paschale [L.] Hoffm.) woodland stands at Porter Lake in the Caribou Range of the Northwest Territories (N.W.T.) from…

Data from standardized aerial surveys during 1964-90 were used to study the timing, extent and rate of decline of winter densities of moose (Alces alces) in early seral forest burned in 1969 (13-21 yr post-fire), in mid-successional forest burned in 1947 (17-43 yr post-fire) and…

Regional patterns of lichen abundance, and lichen availability as affected by snow, were investigated on the range of the Delta Caribou Herd, Alaska. Snow only mildly affected lichen availability in windswept tundra on peripheral ranges, since lichens grew primarily on xeric…

Caribou and wild reindeer populations fluctuate over time. On this fact there is general agreement. Factors responsible for population limitation and subsequent declines have been examined within the framework of animal population theory. There is, however, little agreement…

Almost all biological activity in far north regions takes place within a shallow zone above the permafrost called the active layer. The active layer is the surficial layer of the soil system which thaws every summer. In Imnavait watershed, a small headwater watershed north of…

Spruce beetle attacks and surviving beetle brood in limbed and bucked spruce in south-central Alaska
The current policy in south-central Alaska for treatment of spruce slash to prevent increase of spruce beetle populations is to limb felled trees that remain on the site and buck the stems into bolts about 0.6 m long. In this study, bucking of stems into short lengths, a costly…

Boreal and subarctic peatlands comprise a carbon pool of 455 Pg that has accumulated during the postglacial period at an average net rate of 0.096 Pg/yr (1 Pg = 1015g). Using Clymo's (1984) model, the current rate is estimated at 0.076 Pg/yr. Longterm drainage of these peatlands…

A homogeneous 4.3-ha area of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P) forest located 10 km north of Fort Norman, Northwest Territories, was selected for this study. A 25 m wide corridor was cleared in the spring of 1985 to simulate a transport corridor (e.g., winter road,…
