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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

Leaf litter of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and lodgepole-jack pine (Pious contorta Loud. x P. banksiana Lamb.) was decomposed in laboratory microcosms at 2, 10, 18, or 260C and three Watering rates (15, 30, or 60 mL x week-1) for 16 weeks. Aspen litter lost 5.0-…

The problem of fire protection in the urban/wildland interface is a complex combination of three components: fire behavior and combustion, social and political factors, and the cooperation of property owners. By examing the problem's component parts, it is easier to understand…

The effect of climate on tree rings may change over time as a result of stand dynamics or environmental stress. These dynamic effects can be studied using theory and computer programs and further information on their use are availabe from the authors.

Changes in solar radiation arising from changes in the orientation of the earth?s axis had pronounced effects on tropical monsoons and mid-latitude climates as well as on ice-sheet configuration during the last 18,000 years. COHMAP (Cooperative Holocene Mapping Project) has…

Holocene glacial fluctuations between Arctic, central interior, and southern maritime Alaska are broadly synchronous. This synchrony is evident from a review of work in 11 study areas with varying numbers of glaciers (3-100), glacier types (subpolar cirque, temperate valley,…

Dry, unstable air increases the probability that wildland fires will become large and/or erratic. This paper describes an atmospheric index for these fires, based on the environmental lapse rate of a layer of air coupled with its moisture content. In low-elevation regions of the…

Over the past two decades numerous paleoecological records have become available for describing past plant communities. They show that vegetation has changed on almost all temporal and spatial scales in response to natural environmental variation. Because species have responded…
