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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 mechanism of wood burning has been subjected to mathematical analysis. Extensive finite-difference computations for symmetrical and nonsymmetrical heating of flat wood slabs have provided results which appear to shed additional light upon the mechanisms leading to stable…

From the text... 'The final conclusion was, then that for the type of slash studied there is no need to adjust the slash hazard index for exposure through that part of the fire season when wildfires are more likely to occur but, if the ratings are to be used as guides in fall…

Campbell, Cassady
A first step in the management of a forest range is to inventory the forage--to determine the kind and amount of plants edible to livestock on various parts of the range. This information is needed to plan the proper number and distribution of animals and the season of grazing.…

In an investigation to determine the fungal flora of lodgepole pine logging slash and the growth rates and decaying ablilities of the principal fungi in vitro as contrasted with conditions in nature, four hymenomycetes were isolated consistently and proved to cause most of the…

Juniper trees are invading grasslands and greatly reducing grass production on large ares in western United States. Grass fires are being tested among other methods for the control of small junipers. To test effectiveness of grass fres in killing one-seed juniper (Juniperus…

McKell, Wilson, Kay
Medusahead (Elymus caput-medusae L.) matures later in the spring than most associated species, and has a seed head moisture content of above 30 per cent for approximately a month after leaves and stems begin to dry. High temperature is more injurious to seed viability when seed…

Spalt, Reifsnyder
It has long been obvious to foresters that trees of different ages, and of different species but the same age, respond differently to the heat of a forest fire. Ability of plants to survive a given degree of exposure to fire depends on such factors as location of heat -sensitive…

[from the text] Wild fire has caused tremendous damage in the forests of America. To make the public more aware of such fact and of necessity of extreme care in use of fire, intensive educational campaigns are being conducted by various conservation and protection agencies and…

Fire ecology can be defined as the study of fire as it affects the environment and the interrelationships of plants and animals therein. It is assumed that through natural selection primarily, over long periods of time, plants and animals have developed 'adaptations' that allow…
