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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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

Schullery
From introduction: The Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) fires of 1988 were, in the words of National Park Service (NPS) publications, the most significant ecological event in the history of the national parks (NPS 1988). Their political consequences may be as far-reaching as their…

Recent fire history of the northern Quebec biomes

Payette, Morneau, Sirois, Desponts
The recent fire history of northern Quebec biomes (54 000 km2), including the northern Boreal Forest, the southern and northern Forest—Tundra, and the Shrub Tundra, was documented by examining size and dates of 20th century wildfires using tree ring techniques. Results showed…

Relation between fire cycle and recent climatic change in the southern boreal forest [abstract]

Bergeron, Archambault
Fire history over the last 225 years has been reconstructed far the Lake Duparquet area in Northwestern Quebec. The cumulative distribution of burn areas has shown two distinct periods of stable fire cycle. The present fire cycle of -90 years contrasts with the -53 year fire…

Postfire black spruce establishment in subarctic and boreal Quebec

Sirois, Payette
Forest regeneration in areas burned during the 1950s in northern Quebec was studied along topographic and climatic gradients, from the northern Boreal Forest to the northern Forest-Tundra. Regenerated plant communities are mostly dominated by Cladina mitis in well-drained…

Barry
The recruitment strength of Phragmatopoma lapidosa californica, a gregarious, sedentary, tube-building polychaete from shallow marine habitats along the open coast of California, was significantly correlated to wave disturbance intensity during the previous 2 to 5 mo. This…
