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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This infestation is located in the Ward Creek Drainage, along the west shore of Connell Lake near Ketchikan. At least 1/4 of the dominant and codominant trees have been defoliated in excess of 90%, and 1/2 of the remaining overstory has been defoliated in excess of 50%.…

The spruce beetle remains the most damaging forest insect in Alaska. It is at epidemic proportions on the Kenai Peninsula and is active in the Copper River Valley. Cedar bark beetle remains quite active in localized areas in southeast Alaska. Salvage logging is being used to…

The effects of forest fires on the physical and chemical properties of soils in northwestern Ontario
[Annotation copied from Lynham et al. 2002] During the summer of 1968, an extensive survey was made of burnt and unburnt soils in northern Ontario. It was found that fires, although consuming part of the surface organic layers, only rarely exposed the mineral soil to any extent…

The influence of surface cover on thaw penetration in alpine and arctic soils of Alaska was determined. Several manipulated treatments were employed: removal of all vegetation, mulching, shearing and fire. Thaw and subsidence more than doubled on the bare and sheared plots and…

Fire ecology is a complex discipline that can only be understood by integrating biological, physical, and social sciences. The science of fire ecology explores wildland fire’s mechanisms and effects across all scales of time and space. However, the lack of defined, organizing…

Some consider that Douglas-fir seedlings initially grow better on burned than on similar but unburned soil. The improved growth is attributed to an increase in available nutrients as a result of combustion and to a release from vegetative competition. Since opinions differ…
