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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Radial growth of trees surviving a spruce beetle outbreak was assessed for the past 35 years. Evidence of release events was apparent for 28% of the trees in spruce beetle impacted plots, and for 4% of the trees in unimpacted stands. Radial growth was decreasing prior to and…

Changes in fire regimes are expected across North America in response to anticipated global climatic changes. Potential changes in large-scale vegetation patterns are predicted as a result of altered fire frequencies. A new vegetation classification was developed by condensing…

Waterfowl brood surveys were conducted in the Pah River Flats, Alaska during July of 1995. Duck production was not significantly different between plots burned in a 1992 wildfire and unburned plots for the third year following the burn. Fire did not produce any statistically…

Ips-caused tree mortality has declined over the years in the Quartz Creek area. Little or no future mortality is expected in this area. Based on findings from Quartz Creek, continued, but declining spruce mortality can be expected in the Granite Creek area.

Models of vegetation change in response to global warming need to incorporate the effects of disturbance at broad spatial scales. Process-based predictive models, whether for fire behavior or fire effects on vegetation, assume homogeneity of crucial inputs over the spatial scale…

Boreal forest disturbance regimes have changed during the past century, in turn changing regeneration and stand dynamics of these forests. This is occurring at the same time that the forest industry is emphasizing operations that take advantage of pre-established natural…
