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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Particulate matter and aromatic hydrocarbon emissions from the controlled combustion of alpha pinene
Combustion of a forest fuel complex produces a diverse mixture of oxygenated and unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds mixed with aerosols. This study examines the production rates for a number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) precursor compounds produced from the controlled…

The Weibull distribution is shown to fit well with empirical data of fire intervals for a population of sites. The distribution demonstrates that the recurrence of fire in the subarctic forests of the Northwest Territories, Canada, is predictable. The three parameters of the…

Soils in two adjacent forest stands in interior Alaska, one birch (Betula papyrifera) and the other black spruce (Picea mariana), were sampled in 2-cm increments to a depth of 50 cm. The soils had developed from the same parent material and were similar in slope and aspect. The…

The antiaggregation pheromone MCH was ineffective in preventing spruce beetle infestation in felled spruce near Hope, Alaska. The lack of reduction in spruce beetle attacks in treated trees is thought to involve a lower than desired elution rate of MCH. Cooler temperatures in…
