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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text ... ' It is almost impossible for forestry to do anything in defense against smoke devastation. Even when conditions of terrain permit, the cultivation of timber with higher smoke resistance is outweighed by the important factor of mininum mass effect. Incidentally…

From the text... 'Neglected plantations will never grow to good timber unless the ground is cleared and the trees are cut back--the best means to this end is by fire, which, whilst destroying rough grass weeds and vermin, also puts back a rich dose of potash into the soil.'
