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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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

Forest habitat types of eastern Idaho - western Wyoming

Steele, Cooper, Ondov, Roberts, Pfister
A land-classification system based upon potential natural vegetation is presented for the forests of central Idaho. It is based on reconnaissance sampling of about 980 stands. A hierarchical taxonomic classification of forest sites was developed using the habitat type concept. A…

Aerial ignition: ping pong balls

Gnann
Aerial ignition using plastic spheres (similar to ping-pong balls) charged with potassium permanganate activated by ethylene glycol and dropped from a low flying helicopter is a proven system to safely prescribe burn large areas in a short time for rough reduction and site…

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…
