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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Optimisation of fuel reduction burning regimes for carbon, water and vegetation outcomes

Gharun, Possell, Bell, Adams
Fire plays a critical role in biodiversity, carbon balance, soil erosion, and nutrient and hydrological cycles. While empirical evidence shows that fuel reduction burning can reduce the incidence, severity and extent of unplanned fires in Australia and elsewhere, the integration…

Meta-analysis of field-saturated hydraulic conductivity recovery following wildland fire: applications for hydrologic model parameterization and resilience assessment

Ebel, Martin
Hydrologic recovery after wildfire is critical for restoring the ecosystem services of protecting of human lives and infrastructure from hazards and delivering water supply of sufficient quality and quantity. Recovery of soil-hydraulic properties, such as field-saturated…

Wildland Fire Research to Protect Health and the Environment

Fires are increasing in frequency, size and intensity partly due to climate change and land management practices, yet there is limited knowledge of the impacts of smoke emissions - both short term and long term. EPA is using its expertise in air quality research to fill the gaps…

Effects of large scale forest fires on water quality in interior Alaska

Lotspeich, Mueller, Frey
From objectives (page 13): 'Objectives of the study were: (1) to develop sufficient understanding of the effects of forest fires on water quality of Alaskan streams so that it may be possible to make rational decisions for allocating manpower and funds for controlling specific…
