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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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

Downing
This infestation covers a gross timbered acreage of 1,152,000 acres or 1,800 square miles. The small number of samples and the limited number of sampling locations were sufficient to indicate a decided downward trend of the infestation. Tree mortality appears to have been…
