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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Describes a theoretical model for calculating thermochemical properties of the gaseous fuel that burns in the free flame at the edge of a spreading fire in fine forest fuels. Predicted properties are the heat of combustion, stoichiometric air/fuel mass ratio, mass-averaged…

Lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Dougl. is the most widely distributed conifer in North America. Cones of northern populations of the interior variety latifolia are highly serotinous and retain vigorous seed for more than 50 years. Average annual cone production is relatively…

Direct solar radiation to the bark surface of white spruce, Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, is the primary environmental factor influencing the developmental rate of spruce beetles, Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby), in Alaska. A phloem threshold temperature of 16.5 degree C is…

The treeline in Alaska is usually mapped as the limit of white spruce Picea glauca (Moench) Voss along the south slope of the Brooks Range and in western Alaska and as the limit of Sitka spruce Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr. on Kodiak Island and in the Alaska Peninsula. In some…

Alaska-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis) trees have been dying of an unknown cause in large numbers at several locations in southeastern Alaska for more than 75 yr. At least 9,700 ha of cedar forest have been affected. Diseased stands often have 50% or more of their total…

The location, cause, frequency, size, rotation times, and seasonal timing of tundra fires in the Noatak River watershed of northwestern Alaska were determined from Bureau of Land Management fire records for 1956-83 and satellite (LANDSAT) 1:1,000,000 scale, black and white, band…

Reconstructions of climate in the Holocene rely heavily on palaeoclimatic indicators such as altitudinal and latitudinal treeline movements inferred from direct (macrofossil) or indirect (pollen) evidence of sites distant from modern treelines. It is suggested here that long-…

Production, availability, and utilization of woody browse by moose in winter were recorded in stands of 16 different ages of the Tanana River Floodplain and the Yukon-Tanana uplands of Alaska. These stands represented primary and secondary succession following fire, flooding,…

Sound resource management, including fire management, cannot be based on biased information and incomplete facts. A way to become critical is to understand the basic ecological principles that underlie resource management and that are inherent in the resources under…

The shortest answer to the title question is that a fire's effect is independent of its mode of origin. So, rather than recreating the original fire regime per se, it might be more feasible to aim for the vegetation a natural fire regime would create. How to arrange the…

Excerpt: The material presented in this paper is drawn from one of the fire research studies at the Petawawa, Ontario, Forest Experiment Station; namely, an ecological study of fire in our boreal forest. The purpose of this work, in the official language of project statements,…

Land management goals in the North ought to stem from a land ethic, a care for the terrain. They ought to take account of the historical forces that have produced landscape variety. The occurrences of fires in space and in time have created a patchwork mosaic and thus, have…
