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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Effect of wildfire and fireline construction on the annual depth of thaw in a black spruce-permafrost forest in interior Alaska: a 33-year record

Viereck, Werdin-Pfisterer, Yoshikawa, Adams
The 1971 Wickersham fire burned 6,313 ha in an open black spruce forest underlain with permafrost and provided an opportunity to study fire effects on the rate and patterns of permafrost recovery.  When wildfire burns through a northern black spruce forest there is usually a…

Should riparian buffers be part of forest management based on emulation of natural disturbance?

Macdonald, Burgess, Scrimgeour, Boutin, Reedyk, Kotak
Riparian communities (those near open water) have often been shown to display high structural and compositional diversity and they have been identified as potentially serving a keystone role in the landscape. Thus, they are the focus of specific management guidelines that…

Productivity of Ontario initial-attack fire crews: results of an expert-judgment elicitation study

Hirsch, Podur, Janser, McAlpine, Martell
A structured expert-judgement elicitation technique was used to develop probability distributions for fireline production rates for Ontario's three- and four-person initial-attack crews for seven common fuel types and two distinct levels of fire intensity (i.e., low, 500 kW/m;…

The responses of black spruce growth to an increased proportion of aspen in mixed stands

Legare, Paré, Bergeron
In the southeastern boreal forest of Canada, the presence of mixed stands of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) growing in similar abiotic conditions offers the opportunity to study the influence of aspen on stand volume and…
