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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Sawpalmetto (Serenoa repens (Bartr.)Small) is the major shrub on Florida range, and both mechanical and chemical control have been less than satisfactory. At best plant kill with tandem chopping has been about 80% while herbicidal kill has been about 75%. The purpose of this…

Key issues
• Disturbance ecology furnishes a valuable conceptual framework for natural resource management.
• Numerous techniques exist for documenting past disturbance regimes and the historic range of variability of key disturbances.
• Management goals should be viewed as…

Tundra ecosystems appear to recover slowly from disturbance, but little long-term data concerning plant diversity has been available. We examined recovery of tundra vegetation in Alaska, U.S.A., 23 yr after fire and 24 yr after bulldozing. Primary productivity, depth of thaw,…
