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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Effects of fire on fuels: a state-of-knowledge review

Martin, Anderson, Boyer, Dieterich, Hirsch, Johnson, McNab
[from the text] Recent changes in Forest Service fire management policy make it clear that resource managers today need a great deal more information on the physical, biological, and ecological effects of fire. They will need information on fire behavior and fire effects as a…
