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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Historical data for NW Ontario were used to determine relations between catastrophic (stand replacing) fires and landscape diversity in the boreal forest. Results showed that landscape diversity was greatest with intermediate amounts of fire disturbance. Any change of…

Notes (Do Not Cite): 'Fire has played an important role in the boreal forest of the Northwest Territories. It is clear that by applying fire to the landscape, early nomadic man was able to manipulate the surrounding forest habitat. At the turn of the century, these traditional…
