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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 post-glacial evolution of North American Mixed Prairie was influenced by the physical process of fire and the biological process of bison (Bison bison) grazing. These disturbances interacted with aboveground herbaceous production being the primary fuel and forage. The fire…

(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

Data for the behavior of 59 experimental wind-driven fires were extracted from the literature for use in determining a correlation among several variables known to influence the rate of forest fire spread. Also included in the correlation were unpublished data from six field…

A model was developed to help resolve the decision of how many fire fighters a large forest fire management agency should hire for a fire season to minimize expected cost plus fire loss. It addresses the use of fire fighters for both initial and extended attack, the temporary…

The problem of fire protection in the urban/wildland interface is a complex combination of three components: fire behavior and combustion, social and political factors, and the cooperation of property owners. By examing the problem's component parts, it is easier to understand…

This study assessed the variability of sample estimates for downed and dead woody fuel weight in natural lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl) stands using line-intersect sampling procedures. Equilateral triangles (30 m/side) were established at each of 40 sample sites with…

This report describes use of increment borers for interpreting fire history in coniferous forests. These methods are especially useful in wildernesses, parks, and other natural area where fire history is needed for fire management planning, but where sawing cross-sections from…

Natural ecosystem management means maintaining the natural integrity and pristine character of 'preserved' park and wilderness lands. But most large national parks and wilderness areas are bordered by other public lands, which may be open to consumptive development activities,…
