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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Field tests on the efficacy of various scolytid bark beetle pheromones to attract Ipsperturbatus (Eichhoff) were conducted from 1977 through 1992 in stands of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) in interior Alaska. Several pheromones attracted high numbers of L.…

This report concludes that lack of forest management, non-recognition of the biological/ecological impacts, and lack of expressed professional concern have all contributed to this forest health problem. An aggressive forest restoration and forest health maintenance program to…

A population census and the first stage of a muskox (Ovibos moschatus) habitat study was completed in 1992. Transects were established on a few sites where muskoxen were observed in late winter (early April) and were visited by helicopter in July. Ecosite, vegetation type and…

Forest insect and disease populations and related damage increased throughout Alaskan forests in 1993. All of Alaska experienced the driest summer in almost 75 years. Spruce bark beetle now is infesting in excess of 700,000 acres. Hardwood defoliator activity has decreased from…

Decline and mortality of yellow-cedar is the most spectacular forest problem in southeast Alaska. Yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis), sometimes called Alaska-cedar, is the principal victim in this decline. Other tree species are largely unaffected. Yellow-cedar has…
