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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fifty-two major wildland fires in the eastern half of the United States were analyzed to determine the synoptic situations involved. At the surface, 3/4 of the fires were found near frontal areas. The vast majority of fires were associated with the eastern portion of small…

From the Introduction ... ''Dry matter distribution has been examined in a variety of forest ecosystems in the last few years. Information provided in such studies is valuable for a number of uses, such as evaluating the effects of whole-tree utilization, in quantitative…

A bibliography dealing with the subject of wildland fire history was first published in December 1979 by the second author of this paper (Alexander 1979). A supplement to the original bibliography was included in the proceedings of the Fire History Workshop held October 20-24,…

From the Summary ... 'Fire, whether wild or controlled, has been shown to benefit big game in a variety of ways. Following fire, understory vegetation usually reestablishes more luxuriant than before, often increasing carrying capacity for big game several-fold. In addition, new…

From the Summary and Conclusions ... 'Forest succession in the Northern Rocky Mountains is not an autogenic process in which initial seral plants modify the site to their own exclusion and permit the establishment of interseral and eventually climax species. Rather, succession…

A number of nondestructive techniques for analyzing the timing, frequency, and magnitude of natural disturbances in forest stands are discussed in this paper. Intensive age determination of trees is desirable for reconstructing forest disturbance history, but age distrubution…

The objective of this paper is to explain the distributions, assumptions, interpretations, and relationships of the two compatible, stochastic models of fire history: the negative exponential and the Weibull. For each model the 'fire interval' and 'time-since-fire' distributions…
