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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Recovery sequence of Picea Mariana - Vaccinium uliginosum forests after burning near Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada

Black, Bliss
Picea mariana-Vaccinium uliginosum vegetation was sampled in a north-south transect near Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada. Four stages in the postfire recovery sequence were described. Little qualitative change in vascular plants was found in the transect or with time since burning,…

Landscape disturbance models and the long-term dynamics of natural areas [abstract]

Turner, Romme, Gardner
The 'bloom' of annual and perennial plants following fire in the chaparral is well documented, but there is controversy over what factors cause this burst of new growth. I examined the relative importance of fire, competition, and herbivory in seedling germination and…

The role of fire suppression in the catastrophic decline of the endangered conifer, Torreya taxifolia [abstract]

Schwartz, Hermann
We present evidence that fire suppression may have contributed to the fungal decline of torreya (Torreya taxifolia). During the 1950's torreya suffered a catastrophic die-back. The torreya die-back was probably caused by needle pathogens induced through environmental stress.…

Post-fire regeneration of Prunus serotina and P. virginiana in a southern Ontario oak savanna [abstract]

Morber, Miyanishi
Canopy closure by trees such as Prunus serotina and p. virginiana is presently threatening the survival of the herbaceous component of an oak savanna in Pinery Provincial Park, Ontario. Prescribed burning has recently been instituted in an attempt to open up the canopy to…
