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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 Introduction:'Research in the field of forest fire protection almost inevitably necessitates a requirement for meteorological data. While many projects utilize on-site observations taken concurrently with the experiment, there also exists a considerable requirement for…

From the Summary...'Historically, fires have repeatedly burned nearly every square foot of northern Rocky Mountain forests. Fire damage was especially severe during the 75 years following 1860, and much of this was due to promiscuous burning by whites. Prior to 1940, fire was…

Between 1931 and 1961 Canadian forest fire researchers gathered a vast quantity of data on weather, fuel moisture and test fire behavior. The original purpose of the data was primarily for the development of forest fire danger tables. The data was gathered at 11 field stations…

Standard drying conditions in the laboratory have been related to the diurnal fluctuations of temperature and humidity to define a standard drying day for forest fuels. The mean equilibrium moisture content of a fuel on a standard drying day is slightly different from the…

Fire retardants used in combating forest and range fires have been accused of killing livestock by nitrate poisoning. Ammonia-based retardants cannot cause nitrate poisoning directly. They must first enter the soil, be converted to nitrates, then be absorbed and accumulated by…

The fire whirlwind, an erratic and violent phenomenon associated with the behavior of intense fires, may generate velocities comparable to those reached in tornadoes. All the conditions essential to the formation of fire whirlwinds can be readily produced in the laboratory on a…

The long-established zonal divisions of the boreal forest-forest-tundra, open woodland, and closed forest-are examined in the light of new information about energy income and of satellite photographs of the divisions themselves. The North American divisions are found to lie…

[Excerpt from text] The fire weather occurring on a particular day is a dominant factor in the fire potential for that day. Fire climate well may be thought of as the synthesis of daily fire weather over a long period of time, is a dominant factor in fire control planning.…

Dr. Behan has suggested that the minerals removed in timber harvest and otherwise lost might be replaced by direct fertilization which would also increase tree growth. There are some unanswered questions in this area that probably need clarification, It has been shown, for…
