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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text ... 'Fire is not an independent force in Nature. When fire rages through the forest, it affects every aspect of the ecosystem -- the soil, air, wildlife, trees, and all other plant life. Fire is one component of the total forest ecology, as you have reemphasized…

Our paper points out certain problems in current predictive methods on which most smoke management programs are based. These problems complicate research efforts to improve predictability of air quality impacts of forest burning. In addition, we offer a hypothesis, based on…

Forest fire retardant research was divided into five different study areas: (1) retardant effectiveness; (2) retardant physical properties; (3) retardant delivery systems; (4) retardant-caused corrosion; and 5) retardant environmental impact. Past research is reviewed for each…

This manual and user guide for individual tanker aircraft is intended to: 1) introduce a basis for systematic planning so that specific air tankers can be employed in the most effective manner based on their inherent capabilities or limitations and the local fire/fuel situation…
