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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fuel complexes resulting from power-saw spacing in young coastal Douglas-fir and interior lodgepole pine stands were quantitatively assessed for loading and duration of hazard. Fuel appraisal data were combined with fire weather regimes to derive fire behavior predictions for…

Thermal generation of combustible vapors has been measured up to 500°C for green Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, and lodgepole pine foliage. The relative contributions to combustible products are given for ether, benzene-ethanol, and total extractives, as well as for holocellulose…

This report provides interim fuel consumption guidelines for five common slash fuel complexes found in Ontario. Slash fuel consumption and depth of burn were found to be related to preburn fuel. loadings, and to fire weather as expressed by the Buildup Index (BUI), a component…

Slash components and organic matter from alpine fir, Lodgepole pine, and white spruce stands and clearcuts were ovendried to determine elapsed drying time. Weighings at specific intervals showed that each fuel component dried exponentially and that the time required to ovendry…

From the conclusions ... 'The results of this experiment have shown that Sitka spruce can be satisfactorily established on fresh to moist burned cutovers with shallow organic mantels, in Forest Section B28a by broadcast seeding without ground preparation. Within the range of…

Two wildfires in Ontario in 1971 are analyzed with respect to fire weather, fuel conditions and fire behavior, including rate of spread, fuel consumption and fire intensity. No attempt is made to assess suppression techniques or to discuss fire control costs.

The development of deep organic layers in the overmature spruce stands of the east slope Foothills Section is viewed as site degradation and a serious impediment to the establishment of regeneration following clear-cutting. Low soil temperature beneath this organic layer is…
