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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Recent attempts to model the flow in very hot fire plumes where radiative transport of heat may significantly modify both the dynamics of the flow and the processes of combustion have met with only partial success. This paper gives an account of a model for the flow in a…

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…

From the text...'The unrestricted burning of vegetation appears to be a universal culture trait among historic primitive peoples and therefore was probably employed by our remote ancestors. Archeology indicates that extensive areas of the Old and New Worlds were being burned…

Foliar moisture content was sampled in five eastern Canadian conifers and two hardwoods during 1962-65, and seasonal trends were estabished. These were basically similar from year to year despite weather differences. The moisture content of new conifer foliage and hardwood…

From the Conclusion: 'The study of secondary productivity in grassland ecosystems is potentially of use in both theoretical and applied ecology. Energy flow studies, far from being complete or obsolete, are really just beginining. We have surprisingly little information on the…

From the text... 'Large-scale efforts to control undesirable woody species has awaited mass production of machinery to do the job effectively and economically. Our modern age of large-scale operations tends to overlook, however, that many small-scale efforts using homemade hand…

This paper contains some theoretical speculations on the possible heating effect of flame radiation in front of forest fires. Flame variables used are rate of advance, length, angle of tilt and radiant intensity. Taking a simplified case, an expression is derived for the total…

As a part of the continuing fire research programme of the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, a method was developed which allows direct calculation of the heat combustion of volatile pyrolysis products as the difference between the heat of combustion of unpyrolysed wood and the…

A study of habitat temperatures of the bark beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins in lodgepole pine
Temperatures were measured at the bark suface and in the subcortical zone of Pinus contorta DOUGLAS var. latifolia ENGLEM. infested by Dendroctonus ponderosae HOPKINS. and compared with similar measurements in non-infested trees and with air temperatures. Subcortical…
