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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Natural fire regimes and fire management--foundations for direction

Sando
'Natural resource management is an important activity in our society. The conservation and current environmental movements have emphasized the importance of sound management of natural resources. While there may be significant potential gains for production of our renewable…

Airpro, An air tanker productivity computer simulation model, Air tanker systems

Simard
This report examines air tankers from a systems point of view. The discussion begins by describing the fire control environment. Fire suppression is discussed from the resource management viewpoint. Emphasis then shifts to identifying the structure, components, resources, work…

Biophysics of a natural grassland: evaporation

Ripley, Saugier
(1) Microclimatic maesurements and flux determinations were made on natural Agropyron-Koeleria grassland during two growing seasons. (2) The calculated evaluation fluxes were analyzed in terms of the potential evaporation, soil moisture content, and plant water potential. The…

An application of Landsat digital technology to forest fire fuel type mapping

Kourtz
Economic limitations prevent the mapping over of large areas of forest fire fuel types using conventional forestry methods. The information contained in such maps would be a valuable tool for assisiting in initial attack planning, presuppression planning and fire growth…

Late Holocene deforestation of a tree line site: estimation of pre-fire vegetation composition and black spruce cover using soil charcoal

Asselin, Payette
Anatomical identification of soil charcoal fragments was used to reconstruct the pre- fire vegetation composition of a tree line site that burned ca 930 cal. AD in northern Quebec, Canada. Soil charcoal was also used as a proxy to estimate black spruce Picea mariana palaeo-cover…

Measurement of post-fire hillslope erosion to evaluate and model rehabilitation treatment effectiveness and recovery

Robichaud
The increasing size and severity of wildfires in the western United States has caused a corresponding increase in post-fire emergency erosion control activities. Hillslope treatments, such as broadcast seeding, mulching and installed barriers, are applied to reduce runoff and…

Variation in postfire organic layer thickness in a black spruce forest complex in interior Alaska and its effects on soil temperature and moisture

Kasischke, Johnstone
This study investigated the relationship between climate and landscape characteristics and surface fuel consumption as well as the effects of variations in postfire organic layer depth on soil temperature and moisture in a black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) forest complex…

Successional pathways on different surficial deposits in the coniferous boreal forest of the Quebec Clay Belt

Lecomte, Bergeron
To infer successional pathways on different surficial deposits in northwestern Quebec, we combined the chronosequence approach to the study of within-stand species' vertical distribution. The deposits sustained different frequencies of postfire stand composition types and…
