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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The subhumid boreal forest of western Canada is different today from what it was 25 years ago. Before the 1950s, the main human impacts on this forest were agricultural expansion, escaped settlement fires, and high-grade logging. The latter half of the 20th Century saw increased…

Rocky outcrops represent about 30% of the boreal forest of Abitibi, Québec, Canada. Although these outcrops have similar edaphic and climatic conditions, their vegetation can vary. Some are composed of a closed forest of black spruce (Picea mariana) and eastern white cedar (…

Aim: Present northern distribution limit of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) follows the northern limit of continuous open boreal forest in western Canada, but not in eastern Canada where it is located further south. We tested the hypothesis that fire plays a more important…

Because species affect ecosystem functioning, understanding migration processes is a key component of predicting future ecosystem responses to climate change. This study provides evidence of range expansion under current climatic conditions of an indigenous species with strong…

Stem sapwood hydraulic permeability, tree leaf area, sapwood basal area, earlywood to latewood ratio of annual rings, radial variation in hydraulic permeability and stem hydraulic capacity were examined in dominant (D), codomi-nant (CD) and suppressed (SP) lodgepole pine (Pinus…

Fire management policies emerged as a means of controlling widespread social, economic and ecological impacts of fire. However, it is now recognized that complete fire exclusion is ecologically and economically undesirable, and an operational impossibility. Alternative fire…

A collection of papers presented at the Ninth International Synmposium on Society and Resource Management highlight research findings from studies supported by the National Fire Plan. These studies focus on the human dimensions of wildfire, and look at the perceptions and…

Structural and compositional changes were analysed over the course of 400+ yr of post-fire succession in the sub-boreal forests of west-central British Columbia. Using a chronosequence of 57 stands ranging from 11 to 438 yr in age, we examined changes in forest structure and…

We reviewed the published knowledge on forest succession in the North American boreal biome for its applicability in modelling forest cover change over large extents. At broader scales, forest succession can be viewed as forest cover change over time. Quantitative case studies…

Sediment cores from Pyramid Lake, an alpine tarn in the Cassiar Mountains of northwestern British Columbia, were investigated for changes in pollen, plant macro-fossils, charcoal, and clastic sediment, which are used to infer changes in climate throughout the Holocene.…

From the text ... 'Our experience in conducting fire history studies comes from regions with natural lakes and wetlands. Lake sites are used for most stratigraphic fire history studies, and our understanding of charcoal deposition and burial (i.e., charcoal taphonomy) comes from…
