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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

To explore the relative influences of substrate type, temperature, and moisture on litter decomposition rates, leaf litter of aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and pine (Pinus concolor Loud. X P. banksiana Lamb.) was decomposed in laboratory microcosms for 16 weeks at 2, 10, 18…

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…

In many cases, fire is not an effective thinning tool. However, under certain conditions, stand density and composition can be manipulated by the prescribed use of fire. The factors that determine tree survival are reviewed along with how to effect changes in the fire situation…
