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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 NPS fire staff has reduced the vegetation around several remote cabin sites during 1998, 1999, and 2004 with the objective of reducing the risk of wildland fire. In order to determine that these fuel treatments are effective, this one year study is designed to revisit some…

Because of the flammability of boreal forest, the National Park Service creates defensible space around park structures. This mechanical/manual treatment is not a 'clear cut' fuel break, rather a thinning of vegetation to reduce fire behavior to a manageable level for…
