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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A hoist–puller (come-along) or a scissor jack can be used to extract stuck increment borers from trees. An electric drill is also helpful for removing jammed wood from the inside of borers.

Surface fire intensity (kilowatts per metre) and crown fire initiation were predicted using Rothermel's 1972 and Van Wagner's 1977 fire models with fuel data from 47 upland subalpine conifer stands (comprising Pinus contorta var. latifolia, Picea engelmannii, Abies lasiocarpa…

Turner, Koerper, Harmon, Lee
The potential need for national-level comparisons of greenhouse gas emissions, and the desirability of understanding terrestrial sources and sinks of carbon, has prompted interest in quantifying national forest carbon budgets. In this study, we link a forest inventory database,…

A map of ecoregions of Alaska has been produced as a framework for organizing and interpreting environmental data for State, national, and international inventory, monitoring, and research efforts. The map and descriptions of 20 ecological regions were derived by synthesizing…

Agricultural practices and land use modification were estimated to produce 14% and 9%, respectively, of the total greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming in the decade preceding 1990 (Marshall, 1989). Carbon release rates from tropical forest conversion have been…

Today biomass burning is accepted to be an important source of many trace gases affecting atmospheric chemistry (Crutzen et al., 1979; Cofer et al., 1988a; Radke et al., 1988; Crutzen et al., 1990). Despite its global significance and in contrast to fossil fuel use, where…
