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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Discussion of fire-damage appraisal in relation to fire-protection planning shows a need for a standard appraisal system on all federal lands. Fire control costs and damages on an interior Alaska and a northern Minnesota fire are compared; application of both Bureau of Land…

[Annotation copied from Lynham et al. 2002 (https://www.frames.gov/catalog/18093)] Through a review of literature, the essential role of fire in the boreal forest as a natural regulatory agent of composition and succession is discussed in terms of plants, soils, and animals. In…

Many parts of interior Alaska have a fire-dominated environment. It has been recognized that there are many beneficial effects of fire; consequently, the past fire control philosophy has been altered. Prescribed and controlled burning are being considered under the new approach…

Field data on soil thermal moisture regimes over a winter season are studied with emphasis on the measurement of soil pore pressures and changes in the soil moisture content. Soil tension measurements in advance of the freezing front were made on two sites, one a burned site and…

Lichen forage ingestion rates of free-roaming caribou herds in northern Alaska during 1963-1970 were estimated by applying a two-component, eight parameter cesium-137 kinetics model to measured fallout 137Cs concentrations in lichen and caribou. Estimates for winter equilibrium…

A study was made of buried seeds in 62 cylindrical cores of litter and soil (10 cm diameter X 10 cm depth) collected from 10 sites, on which fires had occurred 42-180 years previously, on upland soil with a vegetation of lichen woodland and a tree canopy of Picea mariana, P.…

The caribou (Rangifer tarandus) of Arctic Alaska are gregarious, frequently mobile and occupy environment too harsh to support more than a limited spectrum of specialized animals. Although most previous work on caribou has been conducted during the short summer phase of their…

Concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn and Zn in black spruce foliage were examined in relation to forest succession on north slopes in interior Alaska. Decline in levels of P and K in the foliage corresponds with rapid decline in forest productivity. Levels of P and, to a lesser…

Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), introduced to St. Matthews Island in 1944, increased from 29 animals at that time to 6,000 in the summer of 1963, and underwent a crash die-off the following winter to less than 50 animals. In 1957, the body weight of the reindeer was found to…

Preliminary biological studies of arctic Scolytidae were carried out during a scientific expedition of northwestern Alaska. Eight scolytid species were found associated with Picea glauca and a significant range extension for Dendroctonus punctatus was noted. Ips borealis host…

Agricultural burning in an intensively farmed region within Manitoba's pothole district is shown to affect the nesting activities of ground-nesting ducks. All species, except Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors), preferred unburned nest cover, although success was higher in burned…

An intense fire occurring on a previously established study area in August 1969 reduced the subsequent spring breeding density of spruce grouse (Canachites canadensis) by about 60 percent. At least 35 percent of the adults using the burn in spring-summer 1970 were birds that…
