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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Gives the texts of 23 papers: Principles of fire ecology and fire management in relation to the Alaskan environment (E. V. Komarek; 37 ref.]; Erosion, soil properties, and revegetation following a severe burn in the Colorado Rockies (W. D. Striffler and E. W. Mogren; 41 ref.);…

Of various factors which might limit barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) populations, destruction of range by fire is one. Fire, caused by lightning or man, generally affects only the caribou's winter range in the taiga or northern regions of the boreal…

In a south-facing subbasin of Caribou-Poker Creek Research Watershed near Fairbanks, several mature white spruce stringers, apparent relics of extensive stands that have escaped fires, were studied. Tree-ring investigations show that the mature spruce stringers have remained…

Findings from a study of fire effects on the aquatic environment lead to the conclusion that the fire had fewer deleterious effects than did activities from fighting the fire -- improper siting of 'cat' lines as an example. These findings were important in decisions by land…

From the text: This symposium on 'Fire in the Northern Environment' has been an exciting exchange of ideas. Your chairman has asked that I present a 'summation' and some 'concluding remarks.' The following summation indicates clearly the need for more research of the proper kind…

Most of the existing Alaskan State and National Parks were established to provide for human enjoyment of the natural features and to preserve the area in its natural condition. The natural condition is identified as that occurring before the effects of white man's influence…

[Annotation copied from Lynham et al. 2002(https://www.frames.gov/rcs/18000/18093.html)]The primeval conifer forests of North America, with their associated deciduous components, were largely fire-dependent ecosystems. Fire was a key environmental factor in controlling…

Laboratory feeding tests indicate that hemlock sawfly populations are partially regulated by food quality. Semi-starvation of late-instar larvae, due to feeding on current year's foliage rather than on a normal diet of previous year's foliage, caused a 65% reduction in survival…

This infestation covers a gross timbered acreage of 1,152,000 acres or 1,800 square miles. The small number of samples and the limited number of sampling locations were sufficient to indicate a decided downward trend of the infestation. Tree mortality appears to have been…

Forest insect activity in most parts of Alaska was at a low level. Hemlock sawfly activity in southeast Alaska subsided completely and the infestation north and west of Fort Yukon caused by Ips interpunctus has declined sharply. Spruce beetle was locally active on the Kenai…

This paper presents selected interior Alaska forest and range wildfire statistics for the period 1966-69. Comparisons are made with the decade 1956-65 and the 30-year period 1940-1969, which are essentially the total recorded statistical history on wildfires available for…

During summer 1969, fires burned 86,000 acres of the Kenai National Moose Range, south-central Alaska; two fires accounted for 99 percent of the burned area. Suppression efforts involved nearly 5,000 men; 135 miles of catline were constructed, and 822,000 gallons of retardant…

[from the text] The long-time role of fire in the forests of eastern Canada is masked, I believe, by the history of Canadian forest management in the exploitive years since 1920. There is now more forest land occupied by Industry -- mainly the Pulp and Paper Industry -- than…
