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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

An overdense logdepole pine (Pinus contorta) stand was knocked down and the site was prepared by broadcast burn, windrow burn, or mechanical forest floor removal. Inoculated alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum) was seeded at 0, 10, 20, and 30 kg/ha for the three different site…

Seven units (about 2 ha each) of black spruce - feather moss forest were experimentally burned over a range of fuel moisture conditions during the summer of 1978. Surface woody fuels were sparse and the principal carrier fuel was the forest floor (largely mosses and their…

Rates of weight loss and release of N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Na, and Cl from litter of several species in jarrah (E. marginata Donn ex Sm.) forest were measured in relation to site fire history and soil type. Weight loss from leaf litter decreased in the order jarrah > marri (E.…

Unique aspects of fire in lichen tundra and forest-tundra were enumerated. The very high inherent fire susceptibility is related to the presence of lichens and shrubs. Lichens are predisposed to burning by virtue of continuous distribution on the soil surface, high surface-…

Because of their commercial importance, their widespread occurence and their relatively simple structure, pine forests are some of the most intensively studied ecosystems worldwide, affording unique opportunities for synthesis. We present results from a multi-investigator…

Global warming and the resultant increase in evapotranspiration might lead to lowered water tables in peatlands and an increase in fire frequency. The objective of this study was to investigate some of the potential effects of these changes on peat decomposition. Dry mass losses…

Several structural changes were recognized by CPMAS 13C-NMR and resolution-enhanced IR spectroscopy after humic acids (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) were subjected to labratory heating at 350ºC. The NMR results suggested that the HA underwent decarboxylation, selective…

Palynological sampling around wildfire event horizons was used to reconstruct vegetation replacement in a Carboniferous (c. 325 Ma) forest. The Joggins Section (Nova Scotia, Canada) includes 4,000 m of channel and overbank sandstones interbedded with stacked, immature paleosols…

Forest fires can be divided into two broad classes-wildfires and prescribed fires. Wildfires, whether caused by nature (lightning, etc.) or by the accidental or malicious acts of man, are not planned by forest managers and do not occur under controlled conditions. They can be…

An assessment of the contribution of Canadian forest ecosystems and forestry activities to the global carbon budget was undertaken. The first phase of this study consisted of the development of a computer modeling framework and the use of published information to establish the…
