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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fire directly releases carbon (C) to the atmosphere through combustion of biomass. An estimated 1470 +/- 59 km^2 of peatland burns annually in boreal, western Canada, releasing 4.7 +/- 0.6 Tg C to the atmosphere via direct combustion. We quantified within-site variation in…

Allometric relations for tree phytomasss distribution on two black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) sites in interior Alaska were developed and compare with entire unit area samples. Tree component mass equations provided R2 values ranging from a low of 0.24 to a high of 0.97…

Methods are presented for analyzing the relationship between fire danger rating indexes and fire activity as a means of evaluating the performance of fire danger rating systems. Percentile analysis is used to examine the data itself; logistic regression provides a means for…

Antelope bitterbrush is a widely adapted shrub occuring throughout the western United States. The many ecotypes of bitterbrush differ in growth habit, growth rate, fire tolerance, drought resistance, palatability, and numerous other attributes. Many also show specific…

This chapter discusses the impact of fire on soil carbon (C) pools, recovery after fire, the effects of a fire suppression policy on soil C, methods to estimate C losses from fire, and the implications of fire management on soil C cycling and sequestration.

Simulations of potential vegetation distribution, natural fire frequency, carbon pools, and fluxes are presented for two DGVMs (Dynamic Global Vegetation Models) from the second phase of the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project. Results link vegetation dynamics to…

The objective of this study was to quantify carbon (C) distribution for boreal black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) stands comprising a fire chronosequence in northern Manitoba, Canada. The experimental design included seven well-drained (dry) and seven poorly-drained (wet)…

The water chemistry of the euphotic zone in 12 lakes within burned and reference watersheds on Alberta's Boreal Plain was surveyed two years post-fire. Five burned and four reference lakes were located in the Boreal Foothills (mean elevation=1048 m) and three reference lakes…

In order to study the interactions between the important processes within a wildland fire, Los Alamos National Laboratory and the USDA Forest Service are continuing to develop the HIGRAD/FIRETEC wildfire behavior model. HIGRAD/FIRETEC is a coupled atmosphere/wildfire behavior…
