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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

'Fires are natural in boreal coniferous forest ecosystems, occuring every 100-200 years. Burning of the humus and forest vegetation (mainly spruce and understory) raises the pH of the humus of the podzolic soil and leads to new succession of the forest plant community. The…

We present estimates of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission from worldwide biomass burning totaling ~13 Tg N yr-1 on a 1 degree longitude by 1 degree latitude grid. Roughly 80 percent of these emissions occur in the zone from 25N to 25 degrees S. The inventory presented here is…

Grass fallow shifting cultivation is an important land use practice in the highlands of Bhutan. Part of the nutrient pool contained in soil organic matter is made available for the traditional buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) crop through a highly labor intensive system exposing…

Data on dry matter and N, P, K, Ca, and Mg contents and movements in soil and ground vegetation in a 30-yr-old natural Pinus banksiana Lamb. stand in northern Ontario are presented together with previously published aboveground data. Dry matter and N, P, K, ca, and Mg contents…

Rates of weight loss and release of N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Na, and Cl from litter of several species in jarrah (E. marginata Donn ex Sm.) forest were measured in relation to site fire history and soil type. Weight loss from leaf litter decreased in the order jarrah > marri (E.…

A model of carbon and nitrogen cycling developed with ecological relationships from upland boreal forests in interior Alaska was tested with forest structure and forest floor data from several bioclimatic regions of the North American boreal forest. Test forests included black…

During the 2 years after a severe wildfire, concentration of nitrate-N increased from pre-fire levels of 0.015 ppm to 0.56 ppm on a burned, unfertilized watershed and to 0.54 ppm and 1.47 ppm on watersheds that were burned and fertilized with 54 kg/ha of N as ammonium sulfate…

Distribution of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in the tree, understory, forest floor, and mineral soil horizons was determined for two series of postfire foerest stands in northeastern New Brunswick. Twelve pure jack pine stands (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and 11 mixed hardwood stands aged 7-…

A 20-year-old aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) ecosystem was subjected to two cutting and two burning treatments. Cutting and prescribed burning were carried out on separate areas. One cutting and one burning treatment was applied both before and after spring leaf flush. An…

In this study, we focus on clarifying the contribution of wildfire on N dry deposition in a boreal forest of interior Alaska, by applying CASTNET data and multiple regression analysis against climate data. Here we set two working hypothesis: 1) Long-range transportation, rain…

Identifying indicators of state change and forecasting future vulnerability in Alaskan boreal forest
This research is designed to understand the mechanistic connections among vegetation, the organic soil layer, and permafrost ground stability in Alaskan boreal ecosystems. Understanding these linkages is critical for projecting the impact of climate change on permafrost in…

Background and Aim: Nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) isotopic signatures (δ15N and δ13C) serve as powerful tools for understanding temporal changes in ecosystem processes, but how these signatures change across boreal forest chronosequences is poorly understood. Methods: The δ15N,…
