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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Heinrichs, Hebda, Walker
The vegetation and natural disturbance history of the Mount Kobau area, in the Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.) - subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt.) (ESSF) forest of southern British Columbia, was reconstructed using pollen, plant macrofossils,…

Wilson, Carey, Beeson, Gard, Lane
A profile-based, analytical hillslope erosion model (HEM) is integrated into a geographical information system (GIS) framework to provide a tool to assess the impact of the Cerro Grande fire on erosion and sediment delivery to the many streams draining the burn area. The model,…

Lewis*s Woodpecker (Melanerpes lewis) has been characterized as a "burn specialist” because of its preference for nesting within burned pine forests. No prior study, however, has demonstrated the relative importance of crown-burned forests to this woodpecker species by examining…

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…

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…

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…

McIver, Starr
Literature on logging after wildfire is reviewed, with a focus on environmental effects of logging activity and the removal of large woody structure. As in unburned stands, log retrieval systems vary considerably in their immediate effect on soils in the postfire environment,…
