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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

1. In central Alaska, Taiga Voles live in communal groups of five to ten individuals (mean = 7.1) for eight months of the year. During this winter period, they share a common stored food cache. 2. Evidence from both field monitoring of nest temperatures and laboratory studies…

Earlier studies in Alaska and northwest Canada have shown inconsistent evidence for the expected northward extension of the Arctic tree line during the Hypsithermal Interval. Only megafossil evidence has supported this suggestion; the palynological findings have been…

Major vegetational, environmental, and peat accumulation patterns were studied in the forest-bog complex of southeast Alaska. Attention was directed to three levels of vegetational pattern: (1) the community type level, with forest, bog, and intermediate types being recognized…

Large-scale, man-created or natural disturbances play a major role in determining forest structure and species composition in many areas of North America and probably other temperate and tropical forests. Studies suggest a single group of species is not predestined to inhabit an…

Ovendry mass of single tress of trembling aspen, largetooth aspen, and white birch in the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence and Boreal forest regions in Ontario was studied in relation to stem dimensions. Mass equations for tree components based on diameter at breast height outside…

Research data and literature are sparse on fire in the taiga and subartic zones, especially regarding effects of fire on soil and water relations and on associated resource management considerations. In the scattered existing work, there is disagreement regarding effects of fire…

Fire, geomorphic processes, and landforms interact to determine natural patterns of ecosystems over landscapes. Fire alters vegetation and soil properties which change soil and sediment movement through watersheds. Landforms affect fire behavior and form firebreaks which…

In preparing for this symposium, discussion inevitably turned to the many facets of wildfire in the subarctic which should be considered - material, philosophical, economic. Is fire detrimental to the environment? 'Are the practices which you employ in controlling wildfires (…

Of various factors which might limit barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) populations, destruction of range by fire is one. Fire, caused by lightning or man, generally affects only the caribou's winter range in the taiga or northern regions of the boreal…

In a south-facing subbasin of Caribou-Poker Creek Research Watershed near Fairbanks, several mature white spruce stringers, apparent relics of extensive stands that have escaped fires, were studied. Tree-ring investigations show that the mature spruce stringers have remained…

A theory of ecosystem succession relates the continuum of fire frequency and intensities to mean annual carbon burning in major ecosystems of the world. Low fire frequency and release of C are contrasted with combinations of (1) low frequency, high release, (2) high frequency…

Findings from a study of fire effects on the aquatic environment lead to the conclusion that the fire had fewer deleterious effects than did activities from fighting the fire -- improper siting of 'cat' lines as an example. These findings were important in decisions by land…

From the text: This symposium on 'Fire in the Northern Environment' has been an exciting exchange of ideas. Your chairman has asked that I present a 'summation' and some 'concluding remarks.' The following summation indicates clearly the need for more research of the proper kind…
