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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fire layers in peat columns from bogs, and carbon layers in soil trenches on dry ground were used to analyse the pattern of occurrence of fires in natural spruce [Picea abies] and pine [Pinus sylvestris] boreal forests of Karelia during the last 3000-6000 years. Results of the…

Fires in boreal forests frequently convert organic matter in the organic layer to black carbon, but we know little of how changing fire frequency alters the amount, composition and distribution of black carbon and organic matter within soils, or affects podzolization. We…

Fine-root (diameter 10 mm) standing biomass, length, distribution, production, and decomposition were studied in mixed conifer/broadleaved forest stands 48, 122, and 232 yr after fire on clay soils in the southern boreal forest of Quebec. A combination of ingrowth bags, soil…
