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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 results of controlled burning on cut-over jack pine sites in southeastern Manitoba can be summarized as follows: (1) The fire hazard resulting from jack pine slash was eliminated on all the areas burned. (2) On most areas a good proportion of the organic material was removed…

Prescribed fire planners working in the boreal mixedwood slash of the Northern Clay Belt Region face some unique problems not associated with other drier sites in Ontario. At times, poor fuel continuity and poor drainage can be major impediments to fire spread. Guidelines for…

Wild Turkeys in the United States were very abundant in colonial times, declined drastically in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and have recently made a remarkable comeback. Suitability of eastern wilderness areas as Wild Turkey habitat depends on conditions in and around…

From the text...'A fire-control problem of major proportions in B.C., as in many other areas, results from hazardous accumulations of logging slash. The basic question is whether it is wiser to give cut-over areas added protection and tolerate the increased hazards introduced by…

A series of three 4—acre plots in a jack pine cut over were burned at three degrees of fire hazard. The weather, fire behaviour, and effects are reported, and a general conclusion drawn by others was confirmed: slash hazard is reduced by any running fire, but certain desired…

It is generally recognized that logging slash, by increasing the concentration of forest fuels, creates a high forest fire hazard. The most severe fire hazard is found on clearcuts where fuels are usually continuous and exposed to the dessicating effects of prevailing weather…
