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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This report documents the examination of 20 spruce beetle impact plots established on the Kenai Peninsula in 1971. The general result of the infestation in most areas of the Kenai Peninsula is a reduction in the size of the residual stand. Type conversion has not occurred. The…

The spruce beetle continues to be the most damaging forest insect in Alaska. The Kenai Peninsula outbreak continues to be quite active while the outbreak on the west side of Cook Inlet is causing widespread and extremely heavy mortality. Both hemlock sawfly and black-headed…

Caribou select areas of relatively shallow snow for winter feeding, and do so on at least two levels: broad area and microsite. They do not normally select sites with snow-packs having mean integrated Ram hardness values in excess of 85. However, in areas of relatively shallow…

Fire is one of several natural and man-controlled agents that can alter the mass balance of terrestrial ecosystems. Frequent long-term burning generally decreases biomass and detritus, which together constitute a global carbon reservoir about three times that of the atmosphere.…

Data are presented on several current studies being conducted in the Mackenzie Delta and the Arctic Archipelago in relation to oil and gas exploration. Tundra fires destroy most of the aboveground plant cover and result in significant increases in depth of the active layer. Fire…
