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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Photosynthetic pigments and several structural characteristics were measured in leaves of Andropogon gerardii from tallgrass prairie populations in an unburned, low-irradiance site and a burned, high-irradiance site to determine if these species displayed sun/shade differences…

Fine forest fuels, such as grasses, hardwood leaves, and conifer needles, vary greatly in response times and mean moisture diffusion coefficients when exposed to desorption and adsorption conditions. Results are reported for tests made with recently dead and weathered dead fine…

From the introduction: The Keetch-Byram Drought Index or KBDI has been or is still being used as a guide for estimating the cumulative moisture deficiency in deep duff or upper soil layers. Such information is needed for planning fire management operations in many regions of the…

An empirical relationship was derived between the ratio of total length to maximum width or breadth (L/B) of wind-driven forest fires on level terrain originating from a point source ignition and the international standard 10-m open wind (W). The relation is based on the wind…

Updating the National Fire-Danger Rating System (NFDRS) was completed in 1977, and operational use of it was begun the next year. The System provides a guide to wildfire control and suppression by its indexes that measure the relative potential of initiating fires. Such fires do…

Sexual and clonal reproduction is occurring in a stand of Populus balsamifera on the Alaskan North Slope. Both even-aged and gradually expanding clones were observed. Trees attain ages in excess of 230 yr, but are slender due to slow diametrical growth (1.4 to 2.5 mm yr-1). A…

Laboratory studies of fire retardant corrosion have been conducted on four alloys commonly used in air and ground tankers and mixing plants. All currently used retardants met Forest Service specifications and requirements, but with considerable variations in performance.…

Major revisions to Rothermel's fire spread equations include the propagating flux rate, reaction velocity, and moisture damping coefficient. The reaction intensity is of the flames alone and specifically excludes energy derived from burning char whether or not it lies in the…

Water alone was the principal agent reducing flaming combustion to smoldering combustion; adding chemical retardant contributed only a slight additional reduction. Water alone was significantly less effective than chemical mixtures in reducing final energy release rates and…
