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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Sound resource management, including fire management, cannot be based on biased information and incomplete facts. A way to become critical is to understand the basic ecological principles that underlie resource management and that are inherent in the resources under…

Land management goals in the North ought to stem from a land ethic, a care for the terrain. They ought to take account of the historical forces that have produced landscape variety. The occurrences of fires in space and in time have created a patchwork mosaic and thus, have…
