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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text...'In factorial experiments, the effect of two or more factors, each tested at two or more levels, is tested simultaneously. A factorial experiment with n factors and p levels is denoted as a pn factorial. The term factorial refers to the arrangement of treatments…

From the text... 'The negative and contradictory results of many of the earlier experiments in forestry are primarily due to the inadequacy of the experimental design. Treatments were seldom replicated over the experimental area and in the statistical analysis of the data,…

The effective use of modeling techniques in the study of free-burning fires requires more knowledge of the essential scaling laws than has hitherto been available. These laws are developed for a stationary area or 'mass' fire by the methods of dimensional analysis. If fires are…

Bromegrass seed fields are often directly combined and the remaining growth harvested as hay. It is of interest to determine the effects of this stubble removal on subsequent seed crops. Information on burning of stubble as it affects seed yields would help in the settlement of…

Fuel beds of ponderosa pine needles and white pine needles were burned under controlled environmental conditions to determine the effects of fuel moisture and windspeed upon the rate of fire spread. Empirical formulas are presented to show the effect of these parameters. A…

This paper attempts to survey timberlines of western North America in a manner primarily designed to serve public interpreters of natural history, such as park naturalists. Hopefully, this broad discussion of the timberlines will also be of interest to biologists and some…

In 1957, circular plots in a burnt clear-felled area, in old-growth Western Hemlock and Sitka Spruce and in an adjacent unburnt area, were sown after burning, first by hand and again, 3 months later, from the air. Results were assessed from initial seedling establishment (from…

Forest succession on north slopes in interior Alaska results in the development of sphagnum bogs on sites formerly occupied by productive forest. This process is one of gradual deterioration of site associated with the accumulation of moss layers on the forest floor. Advancing…

Feeding trials from Nov. 1962 through June 1963, in an outdoor enclosure in Alaska, showed that red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) can survive for 3 weeks and possibly more, solely on Picea glauca seed, consuming ca. 144 cones/day/squirrel, but they thrive poorly on P.…
