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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Foliar moisture content was sampled in five eastern Canadian conifers and two hardwoods during 1962-65, and seasonal trends were estabished. These were basically similar from year to year despite weather differences. The moisture content of new conifer foliage and hardwood…

From the Conclusion: 'The study of secondary productivity in grassland ecosystems is potentially of use in both theoretical and applied ecology. Energy flow studies, far from being complete or obsolete, are really just beginining. We have surprisingly little information on the…

The behaviour of a natural convection plume above a line fire is studied both theoretically and experimentally. In the theoretical treatment, a turbulent plume above a steady two-dimensional finite source of heated fluid in a uniform ambient fluid is investigated. By the use of…

This paper contains some theoretical speculations on the possible heating effect of flame radiation in front of forest fires. Flame variables used are rate of advance, length, angle of tilt and radiant intensity. Taking a simplified case, an expression is derived for the total…

In flames produced by freely burning fuel, buoyancy may play an important role in determining the speed of the gases in the flame zone and hence the flame height. Measurements have been made of the height of flames from burning cribs of wood on a square horizontal base and a few…

As a part of the continuing fire research programme of the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, a method was developed which allows direct calculation of the heat combustion of volatile pyrolysis products as the difference between the heat of combustion of unpyrolysed wood and the…

A study of habitat temperatures of the bark beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins in lodgepole pine
Temperatures were measured at the bark suface and in the subcortical zone of Pinus contorta DOUGLAS var. latifolia ENGLEM. infested by Dendroctonus ponderosae HOPKINS. and compared with similar measurements in non-infested trees and with air temperatures. Subcortical…

'The burning of logging slash has been a common practice in the Pacific Northwest ever since the introduction of clear-cut logging. In those days of low stumpage and log values no one needed to be too careful of the amount of damage done and the whole business was handled pretty…

A program of research on free-burning wood fires is being conducted by the Forest Service to build up experimental data on the properties of such fires, with the iltimate objective of describing the physical phenomena in terms of fundamental laws. Density was the first wood…
