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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Riparian communities (those near open water) have often been shown to display high structural and compositional diversity and they have been identified as potentially serving a keystone role in the landscape. Thus, they are the focus of specific management guidelines that…

Analyses of pollen, plant macrofossils, macroscopic charcoal, mollusks, magnetic susceptibility, and geochemical content of a sediment core from Farewell Lake yield a 11,000-yr record of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem changes in the northwestern foothills of the Alaska Range…

Waterfowl brood surveys were conducted in the Pah River Flats, Alaska during July of 1995. Duck production was not significantly different between plots burned in a 1992 wildfire and unburned plots for the third year following the burn. Fire did not produce any statistically…

The relationship between charcoal production from fires and charcoal deposition in lakes is poorly understood, which limits the interpretation of sediment charcoal records. This calibration study assessed charcoal particle production, size, and transport during the International…

1) The response of ecosystems to past and future climatic change is difficult to understand due to the uncertainties in the direction and magnitude of changes and the relative importance of interactions between climate and local factors. In boreal ecosystems such interactions…

The Canadian boreal forest is comprised largely of even-aged stands that for millennia have undergone cycles of disturbance (i.e., fires or insect-induced stand mortality) and regrowth. Previous studies of regional-scale carbon (C) budgets have assumed that, when averaged over a…

Wildfire can cause water repellency and consume plant canopy, surface plants and litter, and structure-enhancing organics within soil. Changes in soil moisture, structure, and infiltration can accelerate surface runoff, erosion, sediment transport, and deposition. Intense…

1 The effects of catchment fire on lake Pieni Majaslampi are examined by means of geochemical, charcoal, pollen, and diatom analyses of surface sediments. Particular emphasis is paid to pH responses in this naturally acid, weakly buffered, small-catchment lake. 2 An increase of…
