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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Pheromone baited traps and trap trees attracted an aggregate of 29 scolytid species associated with white spruce in three localities in Alaska. Species diversity was higher in Fairbanks than in the Brooks Range or the Kenai Peninsula. Scolytids were found inhabiting all bark-…

A study of duck habitat use patterns and limnology in eastern interior Alaska revealed that ponds hydrologically connected to a creek system had greater use by ducks and higher levels of most nutrients and ions that those hydrologically isolated from a system. Phosphate level…

Notes (Do Not Cite): Moose distribuation was determined by vegetation and topography. Habitats greater than 300 m elevation were used significantly more than expected. Surveys were conducted in February and March. Moose used riparian areas and Salcha burn (15 yrs old).

Spruce bud rust (caused by Chrysomyxa woroninii ) attacked both the leaf (needle) buds and ovulate strobili of Picea glauca and P. mariana. The infected needle buds produced extremely stunted shoots with bright yellow-colored needles. Infected cones became most conspicuos when…
