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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

One 20-acre spruce-fir slash block was burned at moderate fire hazard. Weather, fuel-sampling, ignition pattern and fire effects are reported. The burn effectively reduced the slash-fuel-loading to a level where the spread of wildfire through the residual fires is unlikely and…

Ponderosa pine seedlings were used to determine availability of soil nutrients following prescribed burning. Soils were removed from the top 10 inch layer of burned and unburned plots and placed in pots which were planted with five pine seedlings per pot. Results obtained…

Eight species of fungi isolated from a water repellent soil were incubated for varying periods of time in silica sand. In their latter stages of growth. two of the fungi, Aspergillus Sidowi and Penicillium nigricans, caused limited water repellency in the sand. All the fungal…

Sitka spruce produces twice as many needles per linear inch of twig as western hemlock. Defoliation by the black-headed budworm is more severe on hemlock than spruce because of differences in the phenological development of the hosts and in the feeding behavior of first- and…

Data from a series of plots in well stocked, even-aged Picea sitchensis/Tsuga heterophylla stands 30-170 years old (that had developed after logging (a), windblow (b) or fire (c) on various freely drained soils) were used to determine a site index based on total height and age…

In the course of drawing up a forest-cover map, data were collected on forest types and their distribution, and rates of growth. It was concluded that soil type and superficial geology are relatively unimportant in controlling distribution of vegetation in the area, as compared…

The principles of ecological succession bear importantly on the relationships between man and nature. The framework of successional theory needs to be examined as a basis for resolving man's present eviromental crisis. Most ideas pertaining to the development of ecological…

Discusses (with particular reference to conditions in Alaska) the value of occasional small fires in burning undergrowth and litter to prevent the accumulation of inflammable material and the risk of major damage, the erosion likely to be caused by using bulldozers to make fire…
