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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text ... 'Sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus Bonaparte), due to their dependence upon sagebrush-grassland habitat for food and cover, are limited in distribution to the range type dominated by sagebrush, principally big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) but also its…

From the text ... 'The ponderosa pine-grassland is characterized by the occurrence and distribution of ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa. It is widely spread covering some 36 million acres from the Fraser River Basin in British Columbia to Durango, Mexico, and from Nebraska to the…

Conclusions: 'The results of this study show that black spruce and jack pine can be established successfully by broadcast seeding from the air on fresh to moist sites on a severely burned cutover area in central Newfoundland. The seeding equipment used proved satisfactory. The…

The increasing use of prescribed fire in forest management and the continuing burning of agricultural crop residues creates problems in air pollution. More information is needed on yields of pollutant gases and particulates and how these emissions might be altered by varying…

Spontaneous combustion is thought to be a cause of many of the fires which occur in areas such as peat bogs or dry snags. The theories of spontaneous heating are presented, along with a discussion of possible ignition mechanisms in both wood-chip and hay fires. The physical…

In an effort to gain a better understanding of the mechanics involved in the formation of vortices in buoyancy driven flows, an analysis on the stability of the laminar free convection, due to a line source of heat with ambient shear, was performed by numerical solution of a…

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers were applied to 15-year-old quaking aspen developing on a burned site in interior Alaska. After two years of nutrient application, maximum tip, diameter, and basal area growth averaged 27.1 cm, 0.72 cm, and 2.9 cm per tree,…
