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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Early vegetational succession following large Northern Rocky Mountain wildfires

Soil temperature, seedling growth and white spruce regeneration

Endean
The development of deep organic layers in the overmature spruce stands of the east slope Foothills Section is viewed as site degradation and a serious impediment to the establishment of regeneration following clear-cutting. Low soil temperature beneath this organic layer is…
