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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Plant population dynamics under varying fire regimes

Bradstock
The effects of variations in fire intensity, frequency, and seasonality on the dynamics of four dry sclerophyll species, Banksia ericifolia, Petrophile fucifolia, B. serrata, Isopogon anemonifolius, are being investigated. These species have canopy-retained seedbanks enclosed in…

Forest fire history in the central Yukon

Johnson, Strang
A study of 59 sites in the Central Yukon showed no strong correlation between plant community and time since burning, the post-fire seral communities being both site and fire-specific. Fire intervals were 33, 69, 57 and 62 years in the South Ogilvie, North Ogilvie, Eagle Plains…

Horizontal roll vortices and crown fires

Haines
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…

The use of 'thermocolor' pyrometers in the study of heath fire behaviour

Hobbs, Currall, Gimingham
From the Summary ... '(1) The use of heat-sensitive materials to study temperatures in vegetation fires is reviewed. (2) A pyrometer using 'Thermocolor* paints on mica strips is described and a calibration is given for heath fire conditions. (3) A method of data presentation is…

Practical applications of disturbance ecology to natural resource management

Engstrom, Gilbert, Hunter, Merriwether, Nowacki, Spencer
Key issues • Disturbance ecology furnishes a valuable conceptual framework for natural resource management. • Numerous techniques exist for documenting past disturbance regimes and the historic range of variability of key disturbances. • Management goals should be viewed as…

Mechanistic modeling of landscape fire patterns

Finney
[From the Introduction] Fire as a landscape process is of broad interest to ecologists and land managers. Fires alter forest age-distributions (Heinselman, 1973; Van Wagner, 1978), are sensitive to climate (Balling et al., 1992, Swetnam and Bettancourt, 1990; Swetnam, 1993;…

Long-term reconstruction of the fire season in the mixedwood boreal forest of western Canada

Johnson, Miyanishi, O'Brien
Climate modelling studies have predicted an increase in fire frequency with global warming as well as suggesting a longer fire season occurring later in the year. We used 160 years of fire scars in Pinus banksiana Lamb. dating from 1831 to 1948 and written fire records from 1927…
