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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The importance of large fire events in shaping the structure and composition of subalpine forests has recently gained a great deal of attention from resource managers. High elevation forests dominated by Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa)…

Classifications of airborne mutlispectral scanner data for forest defoliation assessment have generally met with only moderate success. Key factors affecting defoliation assessment (radiometric distortions within the imagery due to atmosphere, sun-object-viewer geometry and…

Lack of information regarding fire effects is perceived by many fire and resource managers as a barrier to the effective application of prescribed fire. This lack of information, in many instances, is the result of poor diffusion of existing knowledge rather than lack of…

A computer program, called DYNAMICS, was developed to illustrate changes in a forest type adapted to short-interval fire. Managementoptions include natural fire occurrence, fire exclusion, and a silviculture-fire management approach. During a 500-year simulation, fireoccurrence…

A national 1-km resolution fire danger fuel model map was derived through used of previously mapped land cover classes and ecoregions, and extensive ground sample data, then refined through review by fire managers familiar with various portions of the U.S. The fuel model map…
