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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Effects of burrow collapse on stress and immune responsiveness of gopher tortoises [abstract]

Kahn, Balbach, Guyer, Mendonca, Beauman
The gopher tortoise is federally listed in the western portion of its range, and a species of concern elsewhere. In both populations, the need to relocate animals whose burrows are threatened by development is common. Different practices for relocation have been studied, but…

Human, topographic, and climatic influences on fire regimes in mid and eastern North America [abstract]

Guyette, Stambaugh, Day
Wildland fire regimes vary with human population density, topography, and climate. The significance of these factors is often difficult to understand and identify at short temporal and small spatial scales. Dendrochronological fire histories from Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri,…

Modeling the likelihood of crown fire occurrence in conifer forest stands

Cruz, Alexander, Wakimoto
The unknowns in wildland fire phenomenology lead to a simplified expirical model approach for predicting the onset of crown fires in live coniferous forests on level terrain. Model parameterization is based on a data set (n = 71) generated from conducting outdoor experimental…

A comment on models and modelling in fire/fuel management

Alexander
'Modeling is fine as long as you know what you are doing.' General remark made to the author by a retired University of Alberta forestry professor a few years ago. The April 1988 issue of the Journal of Forestry published an article by John J. Garland that I have often handed…

Limitations on accuracy of wildland fire behavior predictions

Alexander
Many mathematical models exist for calculating various features of wildland fire behavior. Some are easy to use, some very complicated, but all will be found to produce results which do not always agree with observed fire behavior. In some instances, the disagreement can be…

First of its kind: a historical perspective on wildland fire behavior training

Alexander, Thomas
In 1957, the Chief of the USDA Forest Service appointed a task force to study ways of preventing firefighter fatalities in the future. A review of 16 fatality fires found that the associated fire behavior in all but one case was unexpected by those entrapped or overrun. One of…

Playing with fire: endogenous risk in resource management

Yoder
Prescribed fire as a wildfire risk mitigation tool is receiving increasing attention in the United States after a century of emphasis on suppression. A dynamic economic model of prescribed fire use, precaution, and timing is developed and applied to three important policy issues…
