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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

An upland tundra fire, started by lightning, burned 48 km2 near the Kokolik River (69¦ 30' N, 151¦ 59' W) in northwestern Alaska during late July and early August 1977. Permanent plots were established to monitor recovery of severely, moderately, and lightly burned areas as…

A long-term study of regeneration in alternate strip clearcuts in shallow-soil upland black spruce near Nipigon, Ontario, has revealed whifts in tree species composition. The original forest was dominated by black spruce and had minor tree size components of jack pine, balsam…

The classic concept of nutritional carrying capacity tends to complicate management of Dall sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) populations because they often exist at relatively constant populations sizes over extended periods. The fundamental axiom taught in the wildlife management…

The seasonal and spatial patterns of dispersal of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) seed were studied from 1986 to 1989 in floodplain stands along the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska. Analysis of the 1987 crop showed that production of filled seed was strongly…

The forest vegetation of 3,600,000 hectares in northeast interior Alaska was classified. A total of 365 plots located in a stratified random design were run through the ordination programs SIMORD and TWINSPAN. A total of 40 forest communities were described vegetatively and, to…

The Alaska vegetation classification presented here is a comprehensive, statewide system that has been under development since 1976. The classification is based, as much as possible, on the characteristics of the vegetation itself and is designed to categorize existing…

The problem of verifying predictions of fire behavior, primarily rate of spread, is discussed in terms of the fire situation for which predictions are made, and the type of fire where date are to be collected. Procedures for collecting data and performing analysis are presented…

As of 1992, beetle-caused spruce mortality ranged from 8 to 68% of the spruce component within 5 sample areas. Continued beetle activity and tree mortality are expected for at least the next two to three years. Management alternatives are discussed.

During the winter of 1981, a windstorm caused extensive blowdown in the Yakutat area. In 1988, 20 permanent plots were established to monitor spruce beetle activity. A reevaluation of these plots in 1991 revealed low spruce beetle populations and minimal tree mortality since…
