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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Effects of soil organic matter, moisture, shading and ash on white pine (Pinus strobus L.) seedling emergence

Herr, Duchesne, Reader
The effects of soil organic matter, soil moisture, shading and ash on white pine (Pinus strobus L.) emergence were investigated using soil monoliths in greenhouse experiments. White pine seedling emergence increased with soil organic matter removal, and levelled with the…

Forest fire's influence on yellow hedysarum habitat and its use by grizzly bears in Banff National Park, Alberta

Hamer
Hedysarum (Hedysarum spp.) roots are a primary food of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Front Ranges of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I studied the effects of recent forest fire on yellow hedysarum (H. sulphurescens) habitat by comparing root density, mass, fibre content,…

Spatial vegetation diversity index along a postfire successional gradient in the northern boreal forest

Fortin, Payette, Marineau
Boreal forest dynamics and biodiversity are mainly governed by natural disturbances such as fire. Because boreal forest communities are typically species-poor and composed predominantly of wide-ranging circumboreal species, all measurements of biodiversity using the most common…

Rekindling an old flame: a haploid model for the evolution and impact of flammability in resprouting plants

Kerr, Schwilk, Bergman, Feldman
Using a two-locus diallelic population genetic model, we studied the evolution and impact of flammable traits in resprouting plants. A 'flammability locus' determines the flammable character of a plant and the frequency of alleles at this locus affects the probability that any…

The changing disturbance regime of the boreal forest of the Canadian Prairie Provinces

Timoney
The subhumid boreal forest of western Canada is different today from what it was 25 years ago. Before the 1950s, the main human impacts on this forest were agricultural expansion, escaped settlement fires, and high-grade logging. The latter half of the 20th Century saw increased…

Physical properties of dead and downed round-wood fuels in the boreal forests of western and northern Canada

Nalder, Wein, Alexander, de Groot
The quantity of dead and downed woody fuels in forests is commonly estimated using the line intersect method of sampling. Determination of the mass of wood per unit area for each size class requires values for the mean specific gravity, piece tilt angle and piece diameter. We…

Fire-induced decrease in forest cover on a small rock outcrop in the Abitibi region of Quebec, Canada

Larocque, Bergeron, Campbell, Bradshaw
Rocky outcrops represent about 30% of the boreal forest of Abitibi, Québec, Canada. Although these outcrops have similar edaphic and climatic conditions, their vegetation can vary. Some are composed of a closed forest of black spruce (Picea mariana) and eastern white cedar (…
