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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 effect of prescribed burning to control brush species on buffelgrass pastures in Sonora, Mexico

Ibarra-F, Martin-R, Cox, Miranda-Z.
Vegetational changes were measured after 27 prescribed burns and 3 wildfires which occurred from 1982 to 1995 on buffelgrass pastures highly infested with brush in Sonora, Mexico. Densities of most undesirable brush species were reduced from 40 to 60% with fire. When prescribed…

Prescribed fire in the pine forests of northwestern Chihuahua

Alanis-Morales
Studies to determine the feasibility of using prescribed fire to prevent fire in the forests of northwestern Chihuahua were initiated in 1982 at an experimental level. These studies have resulted in valuable information on the importance of prescribed fire in protecting and, at…

The changing disturbance regime of the boreal forest of the Canadian Prairie Provinces

Timoney
The subhumid boreal forest of western Canada is different today from what it was 25 years ago. Before the 1950s, the main human impacts on this forest were agricultural expansion, escaped settlement fires, and high-grade logging. The latter half of the 20th Century saw increased…

Fire-induced decrease in forest cover on a small rock outcrop in the Abitibi region of Quebec, Canada

Larocque, Bergeron, Campbell, Bradshaw
Rocky outcrops represent about 30% of the boreal forest of Abitibi, Québec, Canada. Although these outcrops have similar edaphic and climatic conditions, their vegetation can vary. Some are composed of a closed forest of black spruce (Picea mariana) and eastern white cedar (…

The northern limit of Pinus banksiana Lamb. in Canada: explaining the difference between the eastern and western distributions

Asselin, Payette, Fortin, Vallee
Aim: Present northern distribution limit of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) follows the northern limit of continuous open boreal forest in western Canada, but not in eastern Canada where it is located further south. We tested the hypothesis that fire plays a more important…

Non-equilibrium succession dynamics indicate continued northern migration of lodgepole pine

Johnstone, Chapin
Because species affect ecosystem functioning, understanding migration processes is a key component of predicting future ecosystem responses to climate change. This study provides evidence of range expansion under current climatic conditions of an indigenous species with strong…
