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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

To sum up, policy, strategy, personnel and equipment employed to suppress forest and range fires has changed dramatically over the past 70-year history of the Forest Service. Most of this change has come during the past 25 years, with the establishment of research laboratories…

Costs of mopping up wildfires have been difficult to estimate because data are not recorded in a way conducive to separate total fire cost into components such as personnel and equipment or mobilization and demobilization of crews. To estimate costs, 25 National Forests in three…

Rumen samples from 104 barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) collected in March 1980 and 1981 at 18 sites on the winter range in south-central Northwest Territories (NWT) and northern Saskatchewan were examined microscopically for relative occurrence of plant…

A study of duck habitat use patterns and limnology in eastern interior Alaska revealed that ponds hydrologically connected to a creek system had greater use by ducks and higher levels of most nutrients and ions that those hydrologically isolated from a system. Phosphate level…
