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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

In March 1963, anthropologist Omer Stewart delivered a paper at the second annual Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference in Tallahassee, Florida, about the ecological significance of the use of fire by aboriginal peoples around the world. This paper, published later that year in a…

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…

Cambium heated with a hot air flow survived 60 degrees C exposures up to 4 minutes, and 65 degrees C for less than 2 minutes. Tetrazolium chloride was shown to be a suitable viability test stain for several resinous and non-resinous species. Techniques and results are discussed.

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…

Seed traps were arranged under a fire-killed 60 year Picea mariana stand immediately after the fire, and seed collections taken at intervals for 60 days. Much seed was released in the first 10 days, but less than half the natural seedfall occurred during the first 60 days.…

Objectives: 1) To determine the effects of various intensities of burning on populations of wild vertebrate animals, both qualitatively and quantitatively. 2) To study the vegetation composition in relation to the preceding objectives. 3) To determine the seral stages and rates…

Recent activity of Yoho Glacier was determined by botanical and geological dating techniques and from published accounts. Tree growth in four forests adjacent to the end moraine was measured by increment borings of 200 Picea engelmannii. Drawings of increment cores were made in…
