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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This study reports the fuel weight and biomass distribution in a 51-year-old lowland and 55-year-old upland black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) stand in interior Alaska. Biomass distribution is shown for overstory, stand and down dead tree components, herbaceous…

Dendrochronological methods were used to reconstruct the history of fires and radial increment in trunk growth in pine [Pinus spp. in natural forests] from the region between the Kasa and Dubchesa rivers (59 degrees -61 degrees N). The data obtained were compared with long-term…

Global annual NO emissions from soil are of the order of 10 Tg NO-N. This is about half the amount fossil fuel combustion processes contribute to the annual global NOx budget. Reducing the emissions of soil derived NOx requires an understanding of the source of the flux and the…

The nutrient (N, P, K, Mg, and Ca) content of the aboveground living non-crop vegetation of a jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) clear-cut in eastern Ontario was investigated for two years after site preparation, which consisted of prescribed burning under different fire…

During the 2 years after a severe wildfire, concentration of nitrate-N increased from pre-fire levels of 0.015 ppm to 0.56 ppm on a burned, unfertilized watershed and to 0.54 ppm and 1.47 ppm on watersheds that were burned and fertilized with 54 kg/ha of N as ammonium sulfate…

From the text...'Substance must be given to policies that state that fire suppression costs should be proportional to values at risk and that fire should assume a more natural role in manging the landscape. A workshop of Canadian fire experts was convened by the Candian Forest…

The importance of Canada's forest biomass in the global carbon cycle needs to be better understood as part of Canada's efforts to meet its objective of sustainable forestry. The distribution of biomass, as well as the changes associated with different management scenarios, have…

CH4 and CO2 fluxes were measured in upland boreal forest soils near Thompson, Manitoba, from May 16 to September 16, 1994. Most sites consumed atmospheric CH4, fluxes ranging from +0.6 to -2.6mgCH4m-2d-1, and emitted CO2 at rates between 0.2 and 26.8gCO2m-2d-1. There was some…

We used input and decomposition data from 14C studies of soils to determine rates of vertical accumulation of moss combined with carbon storage inventories on a sequence of burns to model how carbon accumulates in soils and moss after a stand-killing fire. We used soil drainage-…

Fine-root (diameter 10 mm) standing biomass, length, distribution, production, and decomposition were studied in mixed conifer/broadleaved forest stands 48, 122, and 232 yr after fire on clay soils in the southern boreal forest of Quebec. A combination of ingrowth bags, soil…

During the spring and summer of 1994 we monitored soil-atmosphere exchanges of methane and carbon dioxide at upland sites in the Canadian boreal forest near the northern study area (NSA) of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS). The effects of fire on methane and carbon…
