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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

One 20-acre spruce-fir slash block was burned at moderate fire hazard. Weather, fuel-sampling, ignition pattern and fire effects are reported. The burn effectively reduced the slash-fuel-loading to a level where the spread of wildfire through the residual fires is unlikely and…

From the text...'The effect of burning on the germination and development of maquis plants allows the separation of the plants into two divisions: (1) plants like oak and Pistacia which have no store of seeds in the soil from former years. The fire destroys the seeds on these…

From the text:'In conclusion I would like to emphasize that the use to which fire ecology work is to be put must be kept in mind, namely to predict postfire vegetation development for an ecologic-economic input into fire and land management decision-making. This cannot be done…

Most western state laws pertaining to prescribed burning do not specifically deal with range rehabilitation. Prescribed burns require a burning permit issued by the State Forester, or his equivalent, prior to ignition during closed fire seasons. Air quality standards have been…

Fire managers require 24-hour records of temperature, relative humidity, and windspeed to use fire efficiently and effectively. When carefully calibrated and interpreted, modified hygrothermographs provide minimum instrumentation to obtain these records. An actual case of record…

The occurrence of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the combustion products of carbonaceous fuels is a well known phenomenon. Several PAW are known to be carcinogenic in animals. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is the most well-known and studied compound of those classified by the…
