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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 history of the Clean Air Act is reviewed from 1955 to 1980. The 1980 Visibility Regulation is cited as the first federal clean air policy which specifically addresses prescribed burning. Thirty-six states containing National Parks and Wilderness areas are now required to…

The 'bloom' of annual and perennial plants following fire in the chaparral is well documented, but there is controversy over what factors cause this burst of new growth. I examined the relative importance of fire, competition, and herbivory in seedling germination and…

We present evidence that fire suppression may have contributed to the fungal decline of torreya (Torreya taxifolia). During the 1950's torreya suffered a catastrophic die-back. The torreya die-back was probably caused by needle pathogens induced through environmental stress.…

Canopy closure by trees such as Prunus serotina and p. virginiana is presently threatening the survival of the herbaceous component of an oak savanna in Pinery Provincial Park, Ontario. Prescribed burning has recently been instituted in an attempt to open up the canopy to…

Mortality patterns are diverse for chaparral shrubs under periods > 100 years without fire. Ceanothus often suffer the highest mortality under extended fire-free conditions and this is best interpreted as density dependent thinning rather than senescence. Intraspecific…

The changes observed in the composition and abundance of shrubs, herbs and mosses were investigated following fire in the southern boreal forest of the Abitibi region, Quebec. Ten plots of 100m2 were sampled at each of eight sites varying in age from 26 to 230 years after fire (…

Modelling of the wind effect on the rate of spread of a flame in a forest fire usually employs a wind velocity measured at mid-flame height. An alternative formulation is proposed in this paper, based on the wall shear-stress produced by the wind on the fuelbed in the absence of…

The forecast skill of the National Meteorological Center's medium range forecast (MRF) numerical forecasts of fire weather variables is assessed for the period June 1, 1988 to May 31, 1990. Near-surface virtual temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and a derived fire…

The Minimum Acceptable Visibility (MAV) table was originally provided by the California Highway Patrol in response to an inquiry relative to acceptable highway visibility reduction caused by smoke. The table was included in chapter two of the 1991 edition of the National Park…

It is shown that similarity solutions in strong buoyant plumes (plant or axisymmetric) exist if a local characteristic turbulent diffusion coefficient varies inversely proportional to the square of the local gas density in the plume. The similarity formulation implies that the…
