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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Characteristics of the forest floor on sand stone and alluvial soils in Arizona's ponderosa pine type

Ffolliott, Clary, Baker
The forest floor affects the hydrological cycle, herbage production, tree regeneration, and fire behavior. Forest floor depths and weights under ponderosa pine stands on soils developed from sedimentary parent materials were similar to those previously found on soils developed…

Fire access in the Alaskan interior

Helmers
Fire access usually should be via ridges, where soil tends to be shallow, erosion hazards minimal, and timber cover most open. Dry slopes with deep permafrost or none are useable, but any slope is a potential erosion hazard. Permafrost areas, muskegs, and poorly drained sites…

Methodology to determine long term fire histories: an examination of charcoal and pollen from Mashagama Lake, Ontario

Battson, Cawker
This study involved an evaluation of the various measures of fire occurrence as recorded in lake sediments. A short core (90cm) was extracted from Mashagama Lake, Ontario. The basin was burned in 1948 and 1967, yielding two zones, one burned and one unburned in the sediment core…

Slash burning effects on soil and water chemistry in southeastern Alaska

Stednick, Tripp, McDonald
Stream water samples and soil samples were analyzed to determine the effects of slash burning on soil and water resources in the coastal hemlock-spruce (Tsuga heterophylla, Picea sitchensis) forests of southeastern Alaska. A comparison of water samples from above and below the…

Fireline reclamation on two fire sites in interior Alaska

Knapman
In Interior Alaska, firelines are often constructed to help control and contain wildfires. In the early 1960's and early 1970's, the firelines were built, as in the western states, by tractors with bulldozer blades that scraped off the organic mat, knocked down trees, and pushed…
