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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Mortality and self-thinning in postfire black spruce

Carleton, Wannamaker
Using age-structure determinations on both living and dead stems in censused plots, coupled with stem analysis techniques, an historical picture of mortality and above-ground tree stem growth was recreated for ten stands dominated by black spruce in northeastern Ontario, Canada…

The humus profile - concept, class and reality

Bunting, Lundberg
This field and microscope study explores the micromorphological changes occurring in humus profiles of the Canadian boreal forest which have been variously affected by factors of disturbance: fire, dehydration and overland flow after storms. It compares the materials and…

Biomass distribution and crown characteristics in two Alaskan Picea mariana ecosystems

Barney, Van Cleve, Schlentner
Allometric relations for tree phytomasss distribution on two black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) sites in interior Alaska were developed and compare with entire unit area samples. Tree component mass equations provided R2 values ranging from a low of 0.24 to a high of 0.97…

Initial effects of slashburning on the nutrient status of two sub-boreal spruce zone ecosystems

Taylor
A study was carried out to investigate the effects of slash-burning on the nutrient status of two Sub-Boreal. Spruce zone ecosystems in the west central interior of British Columbia. The slash, forest floor and mineral soil (0—15 cm depth) in these ecosystems were sampled for…

Soil properties beneath Pinus halepensis and Quercus calliprinos trees on burned and unburned mixed forest on Mt. Carmel, Israel

Kutiel, Naveh
In order to study the effect of fire on soil properties of a mixed Pinus halepensis Mill. and Quercus calliprinos Webb. forest, pH, organic matter, total and available nitrogen [(N, N-NH4 and N-(NO3+NO2)] and phosphorus and soluble cations (K, Mg, and Ca) were determined from…

Antelope bitterbrush - an important wildland shrub

Giunta, Stevens, Jorgensen, Plummer
Antelope bitterbrush is a widely adapted shrub occuring throughout the western United States. The many ecotypes of bitterbrush differ in growth habit, growth rate, fire tolerance, drought resistance, palatability, and numerous other attributes. Many also show specific…
