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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The elements of a theory for the process of free spread of fire through brush are presented in terms of simple stepwise processes, which are analyzed separately but joined by their common physical parameters. The stepwise processes analyzed are: (1) Preheating (by radiation) and…

Recent attempts to model the flow in very hot fire plumes where radiative transport of heat may significantly modify both the dynamics of the flow and the processes of combustion have met with only partial success. This paper gives an account of a model for the flow in a…

In the United States, prescribed burning of wildlands is practiced on over 2 million hectares of land each year. Based on our survey conducted in 1989, approximately 70, 20, and 10% of this burning occurs in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Rocky Mountain regions,…

Although advanced technologies are available for measuring and sampling fire intensity, their costs, limitations, or complexity often preclude general use in field experiments. The lack of quality measurements exacerbates the task of relating ecological responses directly to the…

From the text: 'On July 21, 1988, with about 16,600 acres already burned, the Part Service suspended the monitoring policy: from that point all fires would be fought. To advise the Greaer Yellowstone Unified Area Command in planning fire strategy, fire behavior analysts depended…

Foliar moisture content was sampled in five eastern Canadian conifers and two hardwoods during 1962-65, and seasonal trends were estabished. These were basically similar from year to year despite weather differences. The moisture content of new conifer foliage and hardwood…

From the Conclusion: 'The study of secondary productivity in grassland ecosystems is potentially of use in both theoretical and applied ecology. Energy flow studies, far from being complete or obsolete, are really just beginining. We have surprisingly little information on the…

Production of hand-constructed fireline was simulated in 32 forest cover types and three slash fuel types in the boreal forest of northern Alberta. A total of 47 double trials were conducted in these 25 fuel types. The first trial simulated an initial attack situation, and the…

This paper contains some theoretical speculations on the possible heating effect of flame radiation in front of forest fires. Flame variables used are rate of advance, length, angle of tilt and radiant intensity. Taking a simplified case, an expression is derived for the total…
