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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Permafrost degradation and ecological changes associated with a warming climate in central Alaska

Jorgenson, Racine, Walters, Osterkamp
Studies from 1994–1998 on the Tanana Flats in central Alaska reveal that permafrost degradation is widespread and rapid, causing large shifts in ecosystems from birch forests to fens and bogs. Fine-grained soils under the birch forest are ice-rich and thaw settlement typically…

Linking wilderness research and management Volume 1. Wilderness fire restoration and management: an annotated reading list

Hourdequin
The Wilderness Act of 1964 designates wilderness areas as places where natural conditions prevail and humans leave landscapes untrammeled. Managers of wilderness and similarly protected areas have a mandate to maintain wildland fire as a natural ecological process. However,…

Fire spread and flame shape

Anderson
In laboratory tests, the size of a flame front can significantly affect the rate of fire spread. The configuration factor of a given flame shape provides a method for relating flame fronts of various widths. The author discusses an analog system for determining the configuration…

Pooh on damage appraisal

Flora
Appraisal of damage to forests from insects, fire, and disease has been approached in many ways. In North America, at least, no single Thing to Do has evolved. With the help of comments by Pooh and his associates, the article is a brief review of alternative damage appraisal…

Forest fire control decision making under conditions of uncertainty

Davis
Game theory and decision theory could help a fireboss evaluate strategies to use in forest fire control. This paper describes several types of matrix games, subjective utility, and various criteria for strategy selection. It shows, in scenario forms, how decision theory might be…
