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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Constructing and testing logistic regression models for binary data: applications to the National Fire Danger Rating System

Loftsgaarden, Andrews
Logistic regression was used in examining the relationship between National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) indexes and historical fire occurrence data. Basic techniques of constructing and testing logistic regression models are presented at a modest mathematical level. The…

Influence of fire on forest soil microflora

Janna, Hannu
'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…
