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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Woody debris along an upland chronosequence in boreal Manitoba and its impact on long-term carbon storage

Manies, Harden, Bond-Lamberty, O'Neill
This study investigated the role of fire-killed woody debris as a source of soil carbon in black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) stands in Manitoba, Canada. We measured the amount of standing dead and downed woody debris along an upland chronosequence, including wood…

Response of fine roots to fertilized ingrowth cores in burned and harvested black spruce ecosystems

Smith, Coyea, Munson
Root ingrowth cores were used to quantify fine root response to nutrient treatments in early and late successional stage black spruce-feathermoss ecosystems that originated from either fire or timber harvesting [cut with protection of regeneration and soils (CPRS)]. Three…

Variation in nitrogen deposition and available soil nitrogen in a forest-grassland ecotone in Canada

Kochy, Wilson
Regional variation in nitrogen (N) deposition increases plant productivity and decreases species diversity, but landscape- or local -scale influences on N deposition are less well-known. Using ion-exchange resin, we measured variation of N deposition and soil N availability…

Response of understory plant community of boreal mixedwood stands to fire, logging, and spruce budworm outbreak

Kemball, Wang, Dang
The understory plant community of 63 boreal mixedwood stands in southeastern Manitoba, Canada, that were disturbed in the 1980s (21 by crown fire, 20 by logging, and 22 by severe spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) outbreak) were investigated. Understory plant communities…

Variation in postfire organic layer thickness in a black spruce forest complex in interior Alaska and its effects on soil temperature and moisture

Kasischke, Johnstone
This study investigated the relationship between climate and landscape characteristics and surface fuel consumption as well as the effects of variations in postfire organic layer depth on soil temperature and moisture in a black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) forest complex…

Stand-level effects of soil burn severity on postfire regeneration in a recently burned black spruce forest

Johnstone, Kasischke
This study tested whether variations in soil burn severity (soil organic layer consumption) influenced patterns of early postfire plant regeneration in a black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) forest in interior Alaska. Variations in burn severity were related to measurements…

Effects of aspen (Populus tremuloides) sucker removal on postfire conifer regeneration in central Alaska

Johnstone
This experiment tests the effects of early canopy development by asexually regenerating aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) on conifer recruitment after fire in central Alaska. The establishment and growth of three conifer species were observed in response to aboveground removal…

Forest fuel treatments in western North America: merging silviculture and fire management

Johnson, Peterson
ANNOTATION: In order to accomplish complex and multiple management objectives related to forest structure, fuels, and fire disturbance, these two disciplines must be effectively integrated in science and practice. The authors have linked scientific and management tools to…

Fuelbreaks for wildland fire management: a moat or a drawbridge for ecosystem fire restoration?

Ingalsbee
Construction of fuelbreaks as a presuppression fuels treatment strategy in national forests has always been controversial (Omi 1996). Criticisms have been raised over the objectives, prescriptions, locations, methods, costs, impacts, and effectiveness of fuelbreak construction…

Canopy gap disturbance and succession in trembling aspen dominated boreal forests in northeastern Ontario

Hill, Mallik, Chen
Canopy gaps play an important role in forest vegetation dynamics when fire return intervals are long. However, there is little known about the role of gaps in the development of forest stands that initially dominate following stand-replacing disturbance. We investigated gap…
