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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The forest history around Marion Lake in southwestern British Columbia is reconstructed using plant macrofossil analysis. A comparison with a previous reconstruction based on pollen and spore analysis reveals a good correspondence between pollen and macrofossil zones.…

The Sundance Fire and its impressive run were not due to any new phenomena but the combination of several important factors. Extremely dry fuels and favourable weather conditions existed at the time; the atmospheric winds increased steadily thorughout the day, and the fire did…

The present-day northern Rocky Mountain vegetation is the product of a long history of geologic and climatic events that have interacted with the species populations composing the regional flora. General concepts relating to the organization, classification, and dynamic nature…

At the northern limit of red pine (Pinusresinosa Ait.) fire may be of critical importance in determining the persistence of red pine and its restriction to islands and shores of lakes. The objectives of the study were to document the distribution pattern of red pine populations…

Charcoal preserved in lake sediments, peat, and soils provides a record of past fire occurrence. An understanding of fire history is important in evaluating interactions between vegetation, climate and human disturbances through at least the last several millennia. In this paper…

From introduction: 'The importance of documented case studies or histories of wildfires (Alexander 1982) has been repeatedly emphasized by both fire managers and fire researchers (e.g., Schaefer 1961; Luke and McArthur 1978). For example, at the 4th Conference on Fire and Forest…

From the summary:'Systems developed to sample and analyze gases from experimental fires have provided data which appears to be consistent with the general pattern of behavior of the fires and with other data collected. The capability of the system prior to Fire 7 60-12 was…
