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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Periodic outbreaks of black-headed budworms have been reported in southeast Alaska and on Prince William Sound since 1917. The 1950's outbreak caused severe defoliation of mature hemlock and almost one-third of net volume was lost in some stands. The defoliation trend-ratio of…

The effects of three types of surface disturbance (winter road, fire, and oil spill) on the radiant energy budget of upland low shrub-heath tundra were investigated. All disturbances to vegetation or the soil surface resulted in an albedo reduction, which led to a direct…

(1) The main features of the ten-year cycle are the regularity of the period and the irregularity of the amplitude of the oscillations; these features are obvious in data on the lynx cycle, and in the correlogram and periodogram calculated from the data. (2) A statistical model…

Recent activity of Yoho Glacier was determined by botanical and geological dating techniques and from published accounts. Tree growth in four forests adjacent to the end moraine was measured by increment borings of 200 Picea engelmannii. Drawings of increment cores were made in…

The numbers of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in North America generally declined in the 1800s and early 1900s. Four hypotheses are discussed relative to this decline: (I) numbers decreased because of a shortage of lichen supplies caused by the destruction of lichen pastures by…

A severe infestation of spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis Kby.) in a white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)-paper birch (Betula papyrifera var.) stand caused 64.6 percent mortality of spruce 5 inches d.b.h. and larger where the infestation was completed. Survival of…
