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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 many cases, fire is not an effective thinning tool. However, under certain conditions, stand density and composition can be manipulated by the prescribed use of fire. The factors that determine tree survival are reviewed along with how to effect changes in the fire situation…

Emission factors and the size distribution for smoke particles from prescribed fire are described from data collected by airborne sampling, surface sampling using towers, and combustion hood systems. Emission factors for particulate matter (g/kg) range from 4 to 16 for particles…

This report represents a compilation and classification of nearly all the available written information on the CFFDRS. Plans call for a 20-year (1969-1988) annotated bibliography of CFFDRS literature to be issued as a CFS Forestry Technical Report in 1989. The present…

The advent of 'fire management' has increased the need to understand and predict fire effects on vegetation. Such prediction is greatly complicated by the many factors that influence fire characteristics and plant response. Nevertheless, a few approaches have been developed to…

This biological report fills two important voids in the libraries of many wildlife biologists- an annotated bibliography on fire in north America wetland ecosystems and a subject index of all fire-related literature that has appeared in Wildlife Review.

We used data on 2356 trees from 43 prescribed fires in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington states to model postfire tree mortality. Data were combined for seven species of conifers to develop binary logistic regression models for predicting the probability of mortality.…
