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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Direct seeding on a prescribed burn in western Newfoundland

Richardson
From the text ... 'The results of this study show that under certain conditions direct seeding can be a satisfactory method of establishing black spruce following prescribed burning of a balsam fir cutover. The most important limiting factor is the depth of the organic mantle.…

Soil temperature, seedling growth and white spruce regeneration

Endean
The development of deep organic layers in the overmature spruce stands of the east slope Foothills Section is viewed as site degradation and a serious impediment to the establishment of regeneration following clear-cutting. Low soil temperature beneath this organic layer is…

Protecting natural areas in fragmented landscapes

Noss
Natural areas usually are selected for protection according to the elements contained within them. A focus on content alone, however, is incomplete because the structure and use of the surrounding landscape will determine whether a 'protected area' will be able to maintain the…

Survival and growth of planted black spruce, alder, aspen and willow after fire on black spruce/feather moss sites in interior Alaska

Zasada, Norum, Teutsch, Densmore
Seedlings of black spruce, aspen, green alder, and grayleaf willow planted on black spruce/feather moss sites in the boreal forest in interior Alaska survived and grew relatively well over a 6-year period after prescribed burning. Survival of black spruce was significantly…
