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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Three prescribed burns in 1-year old white spruce slash

Kiil
It is generally recognized that logging slash, by increasing the concentration of forest fuels, creates a high forest fire hazard. The most severe fire hazard is found on clearcuts where fuels are usually continuous and exposed to the dessicating effects of prevailing weather…

Permafrost degradation and ecological changes associated with a warming climate in central Alaska

Jorgenson, Racine, Walters, Osterkamp
Studies from 1994–1998 on the Tanana Flats in central Alaska reveal that permafrost degradation is widespread and rapid, causing large shifts in ecosystems from birch forests to fens and bogs. Fine-grained soils under the birch forest are ice-rich and thaw settlement typically…

Linking wilderness research and management Volume 1. Wilderness fire restoration and management: an annotated reading list

Hourdequin
The Wilderness Act of 1964 designates wilderness areas as places where natural conditions prevail and humans leave landscapes untrammeled. Managers of wilderness and similarly protected areas have a mandate to maintain wildland fire as a natural ecological process. However,…

Scaling laws for modeling mass fires

Byram
The effective use of modeling techniques in the study of free-burning fires requires more knowledge of the essential scaling laws than has hitherto been available. These laws are developed for a stationary area or 'mass' fire by the methods of dimensional analysis. If fires are…

Common plants of longleaf pine - bluestem range

Grelen, Duvall
This publication describes many grasses, grasslike plants, forbs, and shrubs that inhabit longleaf pine-bluestem range. The species vary widely in importance; most produce forage palatable to cattle, some are noxious weeds, and others are valuable indicators of trends in range…

The temperature of tree trunks -- calculated and observed

Derby, Gates
A computer program based on Dusinberre's finite difference method was written to predict the diurnal temperature variations in tree trunk. The program accounts for solar radiation, thermal radiation, re-radiation and forced convection. The trunk is heterogeneous and anisotropic…
