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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 authors first review a system for specifying monthly mean anomalies of midday temperature (T), dew-point (D), and wind speed (W) at a large network of surface stations across the United States. Multiple regression equations containing approximately three terms were derived…

Plant species composition and community structure were compared among 4 sites in an upland (boreal) black spruce (Picea mariana) community in NW Ontario. One site had remained undisturbed since the 1930s and 3 had been disturbed by either logging, fire, or both logging and fire…

Temperature and precipitation data from weather stations in Alaska and western Canada were analyzed via universal kriging to estimate mean annual and mean growing season temperature and mean annual and mean growing season precipitation values on a 10 km grid in Alaska. These…

Wildlife diversity and abundance are directly tied to the ever changing nature of the boreal forest. Wildland fire and fluvial action have been primarily responsible for maintaining diversity and productivity. However, there is an increasing need to protect people, human…

Studies of ERS-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery have shown that fire scars in Alaskan forests are significantly brighter (3-6 dB) than surrounding unburned forest. The signature varies seasonally and changes as vegetation re-establishes on the site over longer time…

Tree ring patterns in white spruce (Picea glauca) and Sitka spruce (P. sitchensis) from 6 sites on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska document a widespread disturbance that killed overstory trees between 1880 and 1920. During this period 18-80% of trees in sampled stands record a ring…

We examined short-term (decadal) and long-term (millenial) processes of peat accumulation, and the links between them, in a Sphagnum bog in continental Canada. A previously published model of bog growth was fitted to age profiles of the oxic acrotelm (surface, <60 cm thick)…

1 The effects of catchment fire on lake Pieni Majaslampi are examined by means of geochemical, charcoal, pollen, and diatom analyses of surface sediments. Particular emphasis is paid to pH responses in this naturally acid, weakly buffered, small-catchment lake. 2 An increase of…

Sructural changes in lignocellulosic biomass heated under conitions comparable to those encountered in several types of natural or planned burnings have been studied by solid-state 13C- and 15N-CPMAS NMR spectroscopy of 15N-MNR spectra of biomass subjected to severe heating…

Uncontrolled fires, sweeping over vast areas of the interior nearly every summer, place in jeopardy the future economic development of that portion of Alaska. The area involved is vast but the resources that can be used in perpetuity, even under wise management, are relatively…

After nearly a century of avid fire suppression, land managers are substantially increasing prescribed burning to meet ecosystem management objectives. As scientists and managers we need to accurately quantify the capacity of airsheds to assimilate smoke and related atmospheric…

The Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS2) is a national-scale model of forest sector carbon (C) pools and fluxes. This model has been applied to conduct a retrospective analysis of the C budget of the forests of British Columbia for the period 1920- 1989.…

Some soils with permafrost thawed deeply and become drier after forest fires, while others changed little. Soils with permafrost on the coldest and wettest landscape positions (concave to plane, lower slope positions, and north-facing midslopes) usually failed to thaw deeply…

In this study we examine the molecular organic constituents (C8 to C40 lipid compounds) collected as smoke particles from a Canadian boreal forest prescribed burn. Of special interest are (1) the molecular identity of polar organic aerosols, and (2) the amount of polar organic…
