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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 paper reviews the unique aerial ignition device developed originally in Australia and the chronological work in Canada that eventually produced the Aerial Ignition Device and the Helitorch. It is of interest to note that the project has gone full circle in that Australia…

Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis) plants were burned and clipped under 2 soil water regimes. Treatments were applied to plants in late August and mid-October located in eastern Oregon. Results indicated that watering plants either before or after burning produced no effects as…

Unfortunately, no provision can be made in fire danger forecasting to directly account for special atmospheric conditions that are known to have a profound effect on wildfire behavior (e.g., airmass instability, low-level jet winds, large-scale subsidence). Fire managers must…

An uplant tundra fire, started by lightning, burned 48 km2 near the Kokolik River in northwestern Alaska during late July and early August 1977. Permanent plots were established to monitor recovery of severely, moderately, and lightly burned areas as well as unburned tundra.…

The persistence and severity of water repellency in soils as affected by slashburning was examined in the municipal watersheds of Vancouver by the water drop penetration time (WDPT) and contact angle methods, respectively. Also hydrophobic materials wre extracted from soil,…

The objectives of this study are to determine the effects of prescribed burning on the productivity and quality of six tropical grass species under semitropical conditions on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Tame tropical pastures in this area are used for beef cattle production,…

The use of existing fire weather history from computerized data storage libraries, in conjunction with fire use programs and routines, allows the fire planner to develop realistic prescription limits, especially when the use of unplanned ignitions is directed. The integration of…

Goals and objectives outlined in the Clean Air Act of 1977 are in conflict with land management practices that utilize control or prescribed burns to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Specifically, smoke emissions from burn areas can significantly and adversely affect the visual air…

Polychotomous response data occur in the study of forest fire effects and in other forestry sciences. The response can be represented by the joint occurance of several dichotomous responses. When it is reasonable to represent the polychotomous response in this way, the…

Fire management in Canada's national parks is facing other alternatives besides traditional suppression. The 1979 Parks Canada Policy permits a full range of options while the Natural Resources Management Process (NRMP) provides the framework by which specific options will be…

Results are presented of studies in 1979 in fired forests in the vicinity of Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico. Resistance to fire damage and insect attack (reported for 5 Pinus spp.) was greatest in P. michoacana, least in P. leiophylla. Trees suffering a moderate amount of fire…

Burning of understory vegetation and litter accumulated on the forest floor (mainly branches and leaves) after clearcutting is a method usually applied to facilitate logging eucalyptus plantations exploited for charcoal production. To evaluate burning effects, five plots of 1800…

The fire history of the wilderness of southeastern Labrador is marked by a patchy distribution of large fires in time and space. During the 110-year period encompassed by this study, major fires occurred in four decades, 1870-1879, 1890-1899, 1950-1959, 1970-1979. From 1900 to…

Studies from 1994–1998 on the Tanana Flats in central Alaska reveal that permafrost degradation is widespread and rapid, causing large shifts in ecosystems from birch forests to fens and bogs. Fine-grained soils under the birch forest are ice-rich and thaw settlement typically…
