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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Food intake of 3 tame moose (Alces alces) was observed on the Kenai Peninsula during summer on a normal range and during winter and spring on a normal and a depleted range. Plant species and bite sizes were recorded for 49 308 bites consumed. Food eaten varied between summer and…

Spatial anomaly patterns of sea-level pressures over North America, the North Pacific, and eastern Asia in the 20th century can be statistically calibrated with spatial anomaly pattern of tree growth in semi-arid western North America. Growth anomalies prior to 1900 were…

The effects of prescribed burning on organic matter, soil nutrients, pH, and spruce and pine establishment, growth and N content were studied. Burning had a beneficial effect on Calluna areas, where a thick raw humus layer occurs, but was not generally beneficial on Myrtillus…

ERTS-1 scene 1009-22095 (Western Seward Peninsula, Alaska) has been studied, partly as a training exercise, to evaluate whether direct visual examination of individual and custom color-composite prints can provide new information on the vegetation and geology of this relatively…

From introduction: In northwestern Alaska the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is attempting to cope with a unique grazing situation in which two populations of the same species, one wild (caribou) and one domestic (reindeer), complete for use of high-quality winter range. The…

The subject of fire as an ecological factor is an exceedingly broad and complex one. The literature on fire in nature currently numbers hundreds of papers annually and seems to be growing at an exponential rate. It is certainly impossible to compress even a small amount of the…

Most presettlement Canadian and Alaskan boreal forests and Rocky Mountain subalpine forests had lightning fire regimes of large-scale crown fires and high-intensity surface fires, causing total stand replacement on fire rotations (or cycles) to 50 to 200 years. Cycles and fire…

Fire experiments were conducted in small scale compartment models under a forced or natural ventilation. Four liquid fuels of methanol, ethanol, n-hexane and benzene, which are considered to represent thermal decomposition products of polymers, were burned in the fire.…

The variances of species abundances from 141 upland stands are partitioned into habitat and fire frequency. Principal components analysis is then performed on each of these partitions. The habitat ordination has a topographic-canopy coverage gradient and a nutrient gradient. The…

This study reports the fuel weight and biomass distribution in a 51-year-old lowland and 55-year-old upland black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) stand in interior Alaska. Biomass distribution is shown for overstory, stand and down dead tree components, herbaceous…

During spring 1977 and 1978, 136 moose (Alces alces gigas) calves were radio-collared in the Nelchina and Susitna river basins of south central Alaska in an effort to determine causes of mortality. Thirteen calves (9.5%) died as a result of collaring activities. Of the 123…

We examined the effects of fall clipping or burning on chemical constituents and their distribution in bluebunch wheatgrass the following spring. The study was made in both a big sagebrush-bluebunch wheatgrass and a Douglas fir-bluebunch wheatgrass community. The concentration…

After a fire in a phryganic ecosystem, the nutreint losses in above-ground plant biomass, in nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) were quantitatively different. The most important is that of nitrogen (96%), followed by magnesium (59%),…

During the 2 years after a severe wildfire, concentration of nitrate-N increased from pre-fire levels of 0.015 ppm to 0.56 ppm on a burned, unfertilized watershed and to 0.54 ppm and 1.47 ppm on watersheds that were burned and fertilized with 54 kg/ha of N as ammonium sulfate…

The effects of fire on the biogeochemical cycles of ecosystems are considered: (1) the effects on the abiotic controlling factors (temperature, H-ion concentration, ex- changeable bases, available water, and light); (2) the initial, or direct, effects; and (3) the postfire…

The possibility of applying infrared imagery to the study of a large, hot plume materialized by carbon particles resulting from the incomplete combustion of fuel oil is investigated. In a specific case (the PROSERPINE experiment), due to the high carbon particle content, the…
