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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Traps baited with Seudenol + a-pinene caught 87 percent more eastern larch beetles, Dendroctonus simplex LeConte, than did tamarack logs infested with females. Male beetles responded to the synthetic attractant in greater numbers than females. Male beetles were not attracted to…

Plant survival, fire-stimulated seed dispersal, fire- enhanced flowering and fire-promoted germination were the four traits examined in relation to various combinations of fire intensity, fire frequency, and season of fire occurrence (the fire regime). While fire selection can…

Within the infested patches totaling 1,200+ acres along the Taku River, about 1/2 of the spruce has been killed by spruce beetle. Additional mortality is likely to occur within these patches. Suppression alternatives are discussed. However, this report recommends no control…

The spruce beetle remains the most damaging forest insect in Alaska. It is at epidemic proportions on the Kenai Peninsula and is active in the Copper River Valley. Cedar bark beetle remains quite active in localized areas in southeast Alaska. Salvage logging is being used to…

The effects of forest fires on the physical and chemical properties of soils in northwestern Ontario
[Annotation copied from Lynham et al. 2002] During the summer of 1968, an extensive survey was made of burnt and unburnt soils in northern Ontario. It was found that fires, although consuming part of the surface organic layers, only rarely exposed the mineral soil to any extent…

The influence of surface cover on thaw penetration in alpine and arctic soils of Alaska was determined. Several manipulated treatments were employed: removal of all vegetation, mulching, shearing and fire. Thaw and subsidence more than doubled on the bare and sheared plots and…

The subject of fire as an ecological factor is an exceedingly broad and complex one. The literature on fire in nature currently numbers hundreds of papers annually and seems to be growing at an exponential rate. It is certainly impossible to compress even a small amount of the…
