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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Rough fescue (Festuca campestris Rydb.) is an ecologically and economically important native plant species within grasslands of southwest Alberta. This is also a region where wildfires have become prevalent over the last decade. While the risk of long-term damage from fire may…

This paper provides an overview of four national forest fire management information systems currently used in Canada. The Canadian forest fire danger rating system (CFFDRS) is a non-spatial system, which provides the science framework for fire danger rating in Canada. The…

Geological processes such as erosion and sedimentation redistribute toxic pollutants introduced to the landscape by mining, agriculture, weapons development, and other human activities. A significant portion of these contaminants is insoluble, adsorbing to soils and sediments…

Forest overstory composition influences both light and nutrient availability in the mixed boreal forest. The influence of stand composition on understory cover and biomass was investigated on two soil types (clay and till deposits). Four forest composition types were considered…

This paper analysizes wind speed and direction distributions obtained at nine forestry stations and nine airports across Canada. The effect of differences in the distributions on forest fire danger rating is discussed. The major finding is that forestry stations have a…

Seven composite samples of western red cedar and western hemlock logging slash of 0.25 to 2 inches diameter were exposed on top of and within the bottom third of a fuel bed in the interior wet belt of British Columbia in August 1965. Their moisture contents were measured…

Interest has increased recently in the use of herbicides to control woody plants on land intended for timber production. This increase in interest is due in part to: (1) the introduction of more versatile and more maneuverable woodland equipment such as the skidder tractor, (2)…

Topography, vegetation, and climate act together to determine thespatial patterns of fires at landscape scales. Knowledge oflandscape-fire-climate relations at these broad scales (1,000s hato 100,000s ha) is limited and is largely based on inferences andextrapolations from fire…

The Sundance Fire and its impressive run were not due to any new phenomena but the combination of several important factors. Extremely dry fuels and favourable weather conditions existed at the time; the atmospheric winds increased steadily thorughout the day, and the fire did…

Excpert: "A preliminary study of the issue of managing fuels on the boreal fire landscape suggests that it's just as "daunting" a task in the boreal forest as it is in dry forest type ecosystems of southern British Columbia. However, not all areas are equally at risk.…

Prescribed burning is used for many silvicultural and wildlife management objectives. However, the use of prescribed burning can be constrained due to difficulties in obtaining burning permits, concerns about liability, potential effects of scorch on growth and survival of crop…
