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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The problem of verifying predictions of fire behavior, primarily rate of spread, is discussed in terms of the fire situation for which predictions are made, and the type of fire where date are to be collected. Procedures for collecting data and performing analysis are presented…

Many parts of interior Alaska have a fire-dominated environment. It has been recognized that there are many beneficial effects of fire; consequently, the past fire control philosophy has been altered. Prescribed and controlled burning are being considered under the new approach…

A large region of central and western Canada experienced a particularly severe forest fire season during 1980 in terms of the number of fire starts, area burned, and suppression expenditures. In Alberta, most of the fire occurred during April and May in the northern half of the…

Boreal forests are fire-dependent systems that would lose their vigour and faunal and floral diversity in the absence of fire. The objectives of natural area preservation imply maintaining the original character of the land and perpetuation of those plant and animal communities…

Wildfires have been and currently are an important factor in the northern ecosystems of all circumpolar countries. Historical accounts of fires are general and often provide few quantitative data; therefore, we must rely on more recent data from the fire suppression period to…
