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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 post-glacial evolution of North American Mixed Prairie was influenced by the physical process of fire and the biological process of bison (Bison bison) grazing. These disturbances interacted with aboveground herbaceous production being the primary fuel and forage. The fire…

(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…

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 Also included in the correlation were unpublished data from six field…

In a south-facing subbasin of Caribou-Poker Creek Research Watershed near Fairbanks, several mature white spruce stringers, apparent relics of extensive stands that have escaped fires, were studied.Tree-ring investigations show that the mature spruce stringers have remained fire…

Sampling the forest floor to determine litter weight is a tedious,time-consuming job. A new device has been designed and tested at the Southern Forest Fire Laboratory that eliminates many of the past sampling problams. The sampler has been fabricated in two sizes (6- and 12-inch…

Fire management demands that we (1) mke the best use of whatis known to us, (2) add to our knowledge, (3) assess the possibilites andd the probabilities offuture events, (4) obtain meaningful pulic choices.

From the text:'The goal of research on the behaviour of forest fires is presumably to be able to predict with reasonable assurance how a fire will behave in any stated weather and forest fuel. This goal does not, of course, have an absolute form since the prediction of forest…

An experimental and theoretical examination of the mass burning and evaporation-rate structure of a bed of fine solid-fuel elements is made for several cases of quasi-steady firespread waves propagating along and into the surface of the bed. Several distinct regimes are found to…

Model experiments were performed in a preliminary study of the behaviour of a small ground fire in the lee of a tree. The fires were simulated by alcohol wick burners and the trees by vertical pipes. Data were taken up to RE = 20,000 with the burners located downwind of the…

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…
