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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Insects are the most diverse group of terrestrial animals. Not surprisingly, they influence several ecosystem processes and thus have a profound influence in most terrestrial ecosystems by occupying a myriad o f niches. The reciprocal interaction of insects with forest plants…

Changes in the global carbon (C) cycle caused by human activities have focused the attention of environmental scientists on where and how C is distributed through the terrestrial biosphere. Forests are the largest land reservoir for C (e.g., see Kellomäki and Karjalainen,…

Siberian forests are shaped by complex interactions of climate, forest fires, insect outbreaks, and humans. Unravelling the linkages and mechanisms of these interactions will require long temporal and large spatial-scale perspectives. A full account of the past input of Siberian…

From introduction: 'The boreal forest biome is a classic fire-dependent ecosystem, capable, during periods of extreme fire weather, of sustaining the large, high-intensity wildfires responsible for its existence. The natural fire cycle in the North American boreal forest…

The boreal forest, or taiga, predominates as a vegetation type in northern circumpolar countries, covering in excess of 12 million square kilometres, primarily in Russia and Canada, with lesser amounts in Scandinavia, China, and the United States (Alaska). Lying generally…

The total land area of the Russian boreal zone is 1527.6 Mha, including 1143.0 Mha of Forest Fund areas and 735.8 Mha of forested areas. These estimates are based on Forest State Account data (Goscomles SSSR 1990, 1991). Forest Fund areas include forest land and nonforest land.…

Burned-forest area type classification is an integral part of dynamic forest-type classification. Fire influences on forest structure and post-fire stand transformations are directly related to fire parameters and stand characteristics. Burned areas themselves are remarkable for…

The Canadian boreal forest is comprised largely of even-aged stands that for millennia have undergone cycles of disturbance (i.e., fires or insect-induced stand mortality) and regrowth. Previous studies of regional-scale carbon (C) budgets have assumed that, when averaged over a…

The large size, remoteness, and temporal variability in occurrence of wildfires in boreal forest regions make remote sensing techniques well suited for monitoring and studying wildfire. The goal of this paper is two-fold: First, to illustrate how different remote sensing systems…

Studies of shifting cultivation and other slash-and-burn systems over the past 30 years have basically confirmed the conceptual model of carbon and nutrient cycling put forth by Nye and Greenland. The model stresses that soil biological processes should not be viewed in…

Tropical forest felling can be for the purpose of traditional shifting cultivation, after which forest is re-established, or for permanent land-use change, which is defined as deforestation. Recent decades have seen a dramatic increase in tropical deforestation caused by slash-…

Fires can produce a wide range of changes in nutrient cycles of forest, shrub, and grassland ecosystems depending on fire severity, fire frequency, vegetation, and climate. These changes can be beneficial when fires increase the availability of plant nutrients, and deleterious…
