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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

As the initial step in a study of forest fire cycles in the boreal forest of northwestern Ontario, four burned areas of different ages were briefly examined. This Report describes the present condition of the areas visited in terms of both forest cover and vegetation. Tentative…

Stability of the atmosphere at different levels is one important factor affecting the behavior of forest fires, but the measurement of stability and other atmospheric phenomena is complex and difficult. The acoustic echo sounder shows promise for measuring these parameters and…

Bromegrass seed fields are often directly combined and the remaining growth harvested as hay. It is of interest to determine the effects of this stubble removal on subsequent seed crops. Information on burning of stubble as it affects seed yields would help in the settlement of…

Wildfires play a multiple role in the distribution of dwarf mistletoes - they may either inhibit or encourage these parasites depending primarily on the size and intensity of the burn. Many reports suggest that fire exclusion policies of the past half century have resulted in…

This paper attempts to survey timberlines of western North America in a manner primarily designed to serve public interpreters of natural history, such as park naturalists. Hopefully, this broad discussion of the timberlines will also be of interest to biologists and some…

Rhizome occurrence and root structure of Vaccinium membranaceum were investigated by hydraulic excavation. Numerous, robust rhizomes were present. Taproots were not observed. V. membranaceum rhizomes sprouted vigorously after a light surface fire killed the shoots. They may be…

Examination of 30 stands in sub-arctic woodlands showed that most were even-aged, having been established after fires. Most fires killed all trees in the stand, but in some instances some trees survived, indicating light fires. The rare occurrence of uneven-aged stands shows…

Alaskan Salicaceae can be subdivided into two groups on the basis of timing of seed dispersal. The early-seeding species include members of the genus Populus and the majority of Salix species. Late-seeding species include seven members of the genus Salix. On tests of five…

During a 4-year period the biomass and mass of selected chemical elements were measured in litter fall from young, intermediate, and mature age classes of quaking aspen and paper birch in interior Alaska. Average annual deposition of biomass and mass of Mg, Fe, and Mn were…

Trend of the Nelchina caribou range was determined from vegetation examinations of 36 ten and fifteen year old exclosures. Condition of climax lichen stands, primarily Cladonia alpestris, began to degenerate with two to three years of use and has declined substantially in the…

Five 7.3m x 7.3m exclosures were constructed on winter range following grazing. All feeding craters within the sites were permanently marked. The exclosures were later examined, disassembled and the crater outlines super-imposed on vegetation maps. The procedure was repeated on…
