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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Natural disturbances have been traditionally defined in terms of major catastrophic events originating in the physical environment and, hence, have been regarded as exogenous agents of vegetation change. Problems with this view are: (1) there is a gradient from minor to major…

A method is presented whereby the economic impact of a forest fire can be calculated, not just on the burned stand alone, but on the entire area under management. The main question is whether, when the burned area would have been ready for harvesting. another area will be…

A guidebook has been developed to assist the fire managers and planners in estimating actual economic costs, losses, and benefits resulting from fire management activities. This guidebook was developed and tested on 12 National Forests during the 1977-79 period. The procedures…

This report discusses fire-related research needs in the western regions of the Forest Service. These needs were expressed by personnel at all management levels. Responses were one part of a more general study designed to establish information requirements for integrating fire…

Today, natural resource managers and scientists are required to evaluate and even anticipate the effects that management practices for a single resource will have on the production or use of all other natural resources. For example, a successful prescribed fire will accomplish…

Some of you may be like I am: a thick-skinned, hard-of-hearing traditionalist. For many years we fire fighters, fire managers, and resource managers have been bombarded, lambasted and harangued about the need to integrate fire and fire management into plans for managing wildland…

DRAFT, to be presented at the North American Moose Conference Workshop: Extirpation of caribou from the Kenai Peninsula in the early 1900's and the subsequent increase in moose numbers is frequently cited as a classic example of a faunal change that resulted from fire-initiated…

Prescribed burning is extensively used in wildlife, forest, and range management, and in maintaining biotic diversity. Burning tends to increase food and/or favourable habitat conditions for many upland game and waterfowl species. Prescribed burning in forest management is used…

The mixedwood forest is defined as a successional mosaic of stratified mixed stands of disturbance (mainly wildfire) origin. The effect of long-term exclusion of fire is discussed. A plea is made for a 'let-burn' policy in parks and improved silviculture for maintaining the…

Fire management of grasslands is best executed based on an understanding of the fundamental properties of grassland components, structures, and environments, and the nature of fire behavior in grassland fuels. The art of controlled burning combines experience, practicality,…

The negative exponential and Wiebull distributions were used to estimate stand survivorship curves for forested sites in the Porcupine River drainage of interior Alaska. The survivorship curve of Picea glauca (Moench) Voss sites was best described by a Wiebull function, while…

1. In central Alaska, Taiga Voles live in communal groups of five to ten individuals (mean = 7.1) for eight months of the year. During this winter period, they share a common stored food cache. 2. Evidence from both field monitoring of nest temperatures and laboratory studies…
