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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Observational evidence form nine crown fires suggests that horizontal roll vortices are a major mechanism in crown-fire spread. Post-burn aerial photography indicates that unburned tree-crown streets are common with crown fire. Investigation of the understory of these crown…

In analyzing fire management programs for their economic efficiency, it is necessary to assign monetary values to the changes in resource outputs caused by fire. The derivation of resource values is complicated by imperfect or nonexistent commericial market structures. The…

Natural disturbances have been traditionally defined in terms of major catastrophic events originating in the physical environment and, hence, have been regarded as exogenous agents of vegetation change. Problems with this view are: (1) there is a gradient from minor to major…

A speculative, phenomenological model is formulated for the time-varying intensity and spread rate of a free-burning fire under the influence of nonsteady wind. The model is linearized by approximations and explicit solutions derived for the amplitude response of spread rate and…

From the book jacket...'From prehistory to the present-day conservation movement, Stephen J. Pyne's narrative explores the efforts of sucessive American cultures to master this forbidding kind of fire and to use it to shape the landscape. He draws not only on academic experience…

Fire occurs at various intervals in differnet vegetation types. Intervals between fires are longer in warm, dry sites where small amount of fuel limits fire spread and in cool, wet sites where burning conditions are limiting despite the large amount of fuel. The shortest fire…

Prescribed burning is increasingly being used under standing timber for site preparation and fuels management. Managers need guidelines for determining species and individual tree characteristics that are potentially capable of incurring minimal injury from a fire treatment. A…

An experimental model is described for simulating the dynamics of the initial phase of a forest fire in a conifer stand with a wind blowing persistently in the same direction. It is shown that the characteristic burns on the bark at the base of the stem make it possible to…

(FORPLAN) has been developed to facilitate the use of simulation for integrating fire into the land management planning process. FORPLAN incorporates unique characteristics of previous systems, links numerous models and databases, allows selection of variable resolution levels,…

The burning prescription is an integral part of the silvicultural prescription. Writing these prescriptions for site preparation objectives involves close coordination between the fire manager and silviculturist. A negotiating period during the sale planning process is necessary…

Since the publication of 'Meteorological Drought' by Wayne Palmer (1965), the Palmer Index has become the most widely used operational measure of soil moisture conditions in the United States. The Index has been applied in such diverse fields as forest pest control, wildfire…

The basic thermodynamical processes leading to the formation of droplets in the central part of the Nolan-Pollak counter are analyzed in some detail. The comparison of the UMR-Absolute Aitken Nuclei counter with Nolan-Pollak, General Electric and Gardner counters showed…
