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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A hierarchical system, with five levels of resolution, is proposed for classifying Alaska vegetation. The system, which is agglomerative, starts with 415 known Alaska plant communities which are listed and referenced. At the broadest level of resolution the system contains five…

Alaskan land and resource managers are moving from a policy of fire control to one of fire management. To use fire as a tool to reach resource management objectives, managers need information on fire effects and the role of fire in northern environment. The authors searched and…

Preface: The USDA Forest Service publication, "Identification of Destructive Alaska Forest Insects" (Hard 1967), dealt mainly with the more damaging forest insects of southeastern Alaska. Since then, our information on forest insects and diseases from south-central and interior…

During summer 1977, wildfires burned extensive areas of low arctic tundra in the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. The present study was initiated in July 1978 to determine the effects of these fires on tundra soils and vegetation. Nine 10 x 1 m permanent transects were established at…

Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) were introduced into South Georgia in 1911 and 1925, and now form 3 herds. Each herd was at a different stage of an irruptive oscillation when they were studied during 1972-76. The Barff herd had declined in numbers since about 1958, the Royal Bay…

Vegetation type maps covering approximately 13 million ha of east-central Alaska were made using Landsat multispectral scanner data to analyze moose (Alces alces) habitat. Modified clustering techniques were used: the clustering method has significant advantage over other…

Extensive networks of magnetic direction-finding (DF) stations have been installed throughout the western United States and Alaska to facilitate early detection of lightning-caused fires. Each station contains a new wideband direction-finder that responds primarily to cloud-to-…

From introduction: 'Several recent studies have stressed the role of lightning-caused wildfires as a natural ecological force in northern coniferous forests (Lutz 1956, Viereck 1973). The diversity of vegetation types and wildlife species that presently occurs in Alaska is…

A bibliography on forest and rangeland fire history containing 307 references was completed during the winter of 1979 and released in the spring of 1980 (Alexander 1979). Nearly five hundred copies have been issued to date. I have casually kept track of new and overlooked…

Birth and mortality rates are reviewed relative to caribou in North America and related to population growth. Generally caribou first come into estrus at about 29 months of age and under good nutrition some animals can conceive at 17 months of age. The average pregnancy rate for…

Plant palatability frequently moderates vertebrate herbivore forage selection patterns. There is, however, considerable debate as to which plant chemical characteristics control palatability. On the one hand, forage proximal nutritional quality is believed to be of primary…
