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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 effect of density and thermal diffusivity of wood on the rate of burning of wood cribs

Bruce, Pong, Fons
A program of research on free-burning wood fires is being conducted by the Forest Service to build up experimental data on the properties of such fires, with the iltimate objective of describing the physical phenomena in terms of fundamental laws. Density was the first wood…

Use of models to study forest fire behavior

Fons
The U.S. Forest Service has started a laboratory study with the ultimate objective of determining model laws for fire behavior. The study includes an examination of the effect of such variables as species of wood, density of wood, moisture content, size of fuel particle, spacing…

Soils and forest growth on different aspects in the Tanana Watershed of interior Alaska

Krause, Rieger, Wilde
One of the frequently encountered characteristics of the boreal landscape is the extremely abrupt demarcation of soil-vegetation types. Sharp differentiation of plant communities may be caused by a number of conditions, such as severe fires, irregularities in drainage, invasion…

Heat effects on living plants

Hare
This review of knowledge concerning the effects of high temperatures on plants was undertaken in preparation for research aimed at determining how forest fires affect physiological processes in woody species. Major subjects discussed include morphological and physiological…

A steady-state technique for studying the properties of free-burning wood fires

Fons, Bruce, Pong
A laboratory study was set up by the U.S. Forest Service with the ultimate objective of determining model laws for properties of wood fires, including rate of spread. This is a report of the first phase of the work, the development of a suitable bed of solid fuel and the…

Aboriginal man and white man as historical causes of fires in the boreal forest, with particular reference to Alaska

Lutz
The boreal forest of North America is especially liable to destruction by fires. It is a region in which forest fires have been extremely common and wide spreading. Lightning is certainly one of the causes of fires but man, both aboriginal and white, has been an even more…

Saint Matthew Island reindeer-range study

Klein
A field study of reindeer-range relationships on St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea was made during the summer of 1957. Population counts showed that the reindeer herd had increased from the original stocking of 29 animals in 1944, to number approximately 1,350 animals in…
