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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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

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…

Tansey, Gregoire, Binaghi, Boschetti, Brivio, Ershov, Flasse, Fraser, Graetz, Maggi, Peduzzi, Pereira, Silva, Sousa, Stroppiana
Biomass burning constitutes a major contribution to global emissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, greenhouse gases and aerosols. Furthermore, biomass burning has an impact on health, transport, the environment and land use. Vegetation fires are certainly not…

Upland oak ecology and management

Van Lear
Of the many disturbance factors that shaped hardwood forests in the eastern United States, fire was perhaps the most important. Fires ignited by Native Americans and lightning played a dominant role in sustaining oak (Quercus spp.) forests throughout the Central Hardwood Region…

Thinking about oak forests as responsive ecosystems

Johnson
Like all forests, oak forests are continually responding to disturbances originating from both within and outside the forest. Oaks (Quercus spp.) owe their very existence to disturbance. In this context, silvicultural and other management practices can be thought of as planned…

Impacts of fire and elk herbivory in the montane ecoregion of Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Amiro, de Groot, Bothwell, Westhaver, Achuff
Complex interactions exist among ungulates, predators, humans, and vegetation in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. Fire and herbivory are key parts of the interactions among these ecosystem components. Significant increases in human use, exclusion of fire, and thriving…

Distribution and dynamics of jack pine at its longitudinal range limits in Quebec

Parisien, Sirois, Babeau
The study of a species at its range limits allows the factors associated with its presence on the landscape to be determined. This study examines the distribution and dynamics of jack pine (Pinus banksiana), a fire-adapted boreal tree species, in two sectors of its longitudinal…
