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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Existing records show that five wildfires burned more than 1,600 hectares of tundra on Alaska's Arctic Slope. Environmental conditions suitable for lightning, ignition, and burning occur more often than previously recognized at this northern latitude.

A reconstituted, simulated color-infrared ERTS-1 image covering the western Seward Peninsula was prepared and it is used for identifying and mapping vegetation types by direct visual examination. The image, NASA ERTS E-1009-22095, was obtained approximately at 1110 hours, 165…

Following a prescribed fire, structural effects were measured over a 4-year postfire period. Initial tree mortality was concentrated in small diameter and height classes of Abies concolor (Gord. And Glend) Lindl., Pinus lambertiana Dougl., and Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Most…

Food intake of 3 tame moose (Alces alces) was observed on the Kenai Peninsula during summer on a normal range and during winter and spring on a normal and a depleted range. Plant species and bite sizes were recorded for 49 308 bites consumed. Food eaten varied between summer and…

Spatial anomaly patterns of sea-level pressures over North America, the North Pacific, and eastern Asia in the 20th century can be statistically calibrated with spatial anomaly pattern of tree growth in semi-arid western North America. Growth anomalies prior to 1900 were…

[from the text] Many northern forest trees reproduce best on bare-soil seedbeds, and fire is the major agency that prepares the land for their seeding.It is equally true that periods of abundance for many northern forest animals stand in the relationship X-years-following-fire,…

The effects of prescribed burning on organic matter, soil nutrients, pH, and spruce and pine establishment, growth and N content were studied. Burning had a beneficial effect on Calluna areas, where a thick raw humus layer occurs, but was not generally beneficial on Myrtillus…

ERTS-1 scene 1009-22095 (Western Seward Peninsula, Alaska) has been studied, partly as a training exercise, to evaluate whether direct visual examination of individual and custom color-composite prints can provide new information on the vegetation and geology of this relatively…

Nylon and fiberglass bags containing 5 grams of air-dry, black spruce needles, when placed on the feather-moss-covered floor of an upland black spruce stand, which had been thinned and clear-cut, showed losses in weight, at the end of two grwoing seasons, of up to 34%. The…

A diffusion flame burner was operated to determine the effect of several parameters on the quality of NOx and unburned hydrocarbons produced. The statistical analysis indicated the unburned hydrocarbon emissions to be dependent upon the rate of heat release in the system, the…

During the 2 years after a severe wildfire, concentration of nitrate-N increased from pre-fire levels of 0.015 ppm to 0.56 ppm on a burned, unfertilized watershed and to 0.54 ppm and 1.47 ppm on watersheds that were burned and fertilized with 54 kg/ha of N as ammonium sulfate…
