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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Recent fire history of the northern Quebec biomes

Payette, Morneau, Sirois, Desponts
The recent fire history of northern Quebec biomes (54 000 km2), including the northern Boreal Forest, the southern and northern Forest—Tundra, and the Shrub Tundra, was documented by examining size and dates of 20th century wildfires using tree ring techniques. Results showed…

Old-growth forests of the Canadian Rocky Mountain National Parks

Achuff
The Canadian Rocky Mountain national parks comprise Waterton Lakes, Banff, and Jasper national parks in Alberta, and Kootenay and Yoho national parks in British Columbia. The forested landscape is divided into montane and subalpine ecoregions (zones) based primarily of forest…

Postfire black spruce establishment in subarctic and boreal Quebec

Sirois, Payette
Forest regeneration in areas burned during the 1950s in northern Quebec was studied along topographic and climatic gradients, from the northern Boreal Forest to the northern Forest-Tundra. Regenerated plant communities are mostly dominated by Cladina mitis in well-drained…

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…

Ecological consequences of the 1988 fires in the Greater Yellowstone area: Final Report: The Greater Yellowstone Postfire Ecological Assessment Workshop

Christensen, Agee, Brussard, Hughes, Knight, Minshall, Peek, Pyne, Swanson, Wells, Thomas, Williams, Wright
From the Executive Summary (p.iv) ... 'A coordinated program of research on the 1988 fires should be intiated immediately. The essential ingredients for such a program include an ecosystem approach to provide conceptual integration and operational coordination of many individual…

Charcoal production, dispersal, and deposition from the Fort Providence experimental fire: interpreting fire regimes from charcoal records in boreal forests

Lynch, Clark, Stocks
The relationship between charcoal production from fires and charcoal deposition in lakes is poorly understood, which limits the interpretation of sediment charcoal records. This calibration study assessed charcoal particle production, size, and transport during the International…

Climatic and landscape controls of the boreal forest fire regime: Holocene records from Alaska

Lynch, Hollis, Hu
1) The response of ecosystems to past and future climatic change is difficult to understand due to the uncertainties in the direction and magnitude of changes and the relative importance of interactions between climate and local factors. In boreal ecosystems such interactions…

Effects of wildfire on soils and watershed processes

Ice, Neary, Adams
Wildfire can cause water repellency and consume plant canopy, surface plants and litter, and structure-enhancing organics within soil. Changes in soil moisture, structure, and infiltration can accelerate surface runoff, erosion, sediment transport, and deposition. Intense…
