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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Reconstructing fire behaviour and effects in a subalpine forest

Fryer, Johnson
(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

A dimensionless correlation for the spread of wind-driven fires

Nelson, Adkins
Data for the behavior of 59 experimental wind-driven fires were extracted from the literature for use in determining a correlation among several variables known to influence the rate of forest fire spread. Also included in the correlation were unpublished data from six field…

Aspen and pine leaf litter decomposition in laboratory microcosms. II. Interactions of temperature and moisture level

Taylor, Parkinson
To explore the relative influences of substrate type, temperature, and moisture on litter decomposition rates, leaf litter of aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and pine (Pinus concolor Loud. X P. banksiana Lamb.) was decomposed in laboratory microcosms for 16 weeks at 2, 10, 18…

Aspen and pine leaf litter decomposition in laboratory microcosms. I. Linear versus exponential models of decay

Taylor, Parkinson
Leaf litter of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and lodgepole-jack pine (Pious contorta Loud. x P. banksiana Lamb.) was decomposed in laboratory microcosms at 2, 10, 18, or 260C and three Watering rates (15, 30, or 60 mL x week-1) for 16 weeks. Aspen litter lost 5.0-…

A Markov chain model for evaluating seasonal forest fire fighter requirements

Boychuk, Martell
A model was developed to help resolve the decision of how many fire fighters a large forest fire management agency should hire for a fire season to minimize expected cost plus fire loss. It addresses the use of fire fighters for both initial and extended attack, the temporary…
