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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A 250-yr postfire plant chronosequence in well-drained sites at the northern limit of the boreal forest in the Grande riviere de la Baleine area, N. Quebec, was reconstructed from 9 sites associated with the development of the lichen/spruce (Cladina stellaris/Picea mariana)…

A close relationship between organic-carbon content and bulk density was utilized to develop equations for predicting the bulk densities of inorganic soils around the Gulf of Alaska. Most of the samples used in developing these equations were from B and C horizons, but they…

Fire has been used inconsistently to manage native and tame grasslands in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of the north-central U.S. and south-central Canada, particularly the grasslands found in prairies, plains, agricultural land retirement programs, and moist soil sites. This…

This report describes permanent plot establishment and gives current spruce beetle population levels in the Yakutat Forelands. Plots were established in areas where over 20% of the spruces have died. Live spruce beetle broods were found in 4% of the plot trees, indicating that…

We examined the ways grizzly bears (Ursus arctos), wolves (Canis lupus), and black bears (Ursus americanus), and humans affected moose (Alces alces) numbers in a 6,310-km2 area in the southwest Yukon during 1983/85. We documented pregnancy rates, birth rates, and causes and…

Spruce beetles (Dendroctonus rufipennis) concentrate early attacks on an initial tree, the 'focus' tree, but later attacks occur on adjacent trees, 'recipient' trees. The pattern of these initial and following attacks may provide a key for management approaches to deal with…

A 5-year (1984-88) study of fire costs and acreages burned under fire plans in Alaska was conducted by the Bureau of Land Management. Effects of classification and management of suppression areas as critical protection, full protection, modified action, and limited action are…

Responses of radio-collared moose (Alces alces) to a 500-km2 burn in central Alaska were described using prefire and postfire movements. Moose with low prefire contact with the burned area increased use following the fire. Increased use resulted from moose shifting home ranges…

Intervals between fires, tree blowdowns, and other large and small forest disturbances are often estimated by dating tree rings. Dates are taken from living trees, fallen logs or stumps, or other indicators such as peaks in tree age distributions and ages of understory plants…

Canadian fire control agencies use either simple interpolation methods or none at all in estimating fire danger between weather stations. We compare several methods of interpolation and use the fire weather index in the North Central Region of Ontario as a case study. Our work…

Estimation of moose density ranged between 18 and 20 animals/10 km2 boreal area of eastern Quebec that has been excluded from hunting for many decades. Moose were sedentary; 81% of telemetry locations of 12 adults (6 of each sex) that were captured in the area were within the…

Low-level helicopter flights were used to collect samples of smoke from burning chaparral in southern California and over a boreal forest fire in norther Ontario, Canada. The smoke plume samples were analyzed for carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), methane…

Soil chemical properties were studied after a wildfire in stands of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.), and quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.). Samples of the forest floor and…
