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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Wildland fire managers and planners rely heavily on information that describes environmental and sociological factors. Complex and dynamic interactions among these factors are commonplace, but difficult to model and portray in a useable and understandable way. And when dealing…

We compared population dynamics for moose (Alces alces) and black bear (Ursus americanus) in an older (1947) and recent (1969) burn from 1978-1988. Moose densities in the 1947 burn were moderately high in early years of study (1.3 moose/km2) but declined dramatically in later…

I studied the botanical composition and nutritional qualities of moose (Alces alces) winter diets in subalpine habitats in Denali National Park and Preserve (DNPP), Alaska during January-April 1983 and 1984. Feltleaf willow (Salix alaxensis), diamondleaf willow (S. arbusculoides…

A 250-yr postfire plant chronosequence in well-drained sites at the northern limit of the boreal forest in the Grande riviere de la Baleine area, N. Quebec, was reconstructed from 9 sites associated with the development of the lichen/spruce (Cladina stellaris/Picea mariana)…

Fire has been used inconsistently to manage native and tame grasslands in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of the north-central U.S. and south-central Canada, particularly the grasslands found in prairies, plains, agricultural land retirement programs, and moist soil sites. This…

This report describes permanent plot establishment and gives current spruce beetle population levels in the Yakutat Forelands. Plots were established in areas where over 20% of the spruces have died. Live spruce beetle broods were found in 4% of the plot trees, indicating that…

We examined the ways grizzly bears (Ursus arctos), wolves (Canis lupus), and black bears (Ursus americanus), and humans affected moose (Alces alces) numbers in a 6,310-km2 area in the southwest Yukon during 1983/85. We documented pregnancy rates, birth rates, and causes and…

Responses of radio-collared moose (Alces alces) to a 500-km2 burn in central Alaska were described using prefire and postfire movements. Moose with low prefire contact with the burned area increased use following the fire. Increased use resulted from moose shifting home ranges…

Soil chemical properties were studied after a wildfire in stands of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.), and quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.). Samples of the forest floor and…
