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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) is the lowest portion of the Earth's atmosphere which is affected significantly by the properties of the Earth's (land or ocean) surface. The ABL may show a large daily variation in wind, temperature, and stability or turbulence. The ABL is…

The Intelligent Fire Management Information System (IFMIS) is a fire management tool which integrates fire weather, forest inventory, and suppression resources to provide an overall picture of the current fire situation. Using the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating (CFFDRS)…

Models of vegetation change in response to global warming need to incorporate the effects of disturbance at broad spatial scales. Process-based predictive models, whether for fire behavior or fire effects on vegetation, assume homogeneity of crucial inputs over the spatial scale…

The species composition and density of seed banks in the forest floors and mineral soils of several undisturbed (immature, midseral forests) and disturbed (transmission line rights-of-way) ecosystems in southwestern British Columbia were estimated using the seedling-emergence…

Calamagrostis canadensis (Michx.) Beauv. is a widely distributed rhizomatous grass that can seriously inhibit growth of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) seedlings in the boreal forests of North America. We review the dynamics of this grass during four successional…

A fire of unusually great severity (deep burning) burned across the forest-tundra ecotone near Inuvik, Northwest Territories from August 8 to 18, 1968. Burned-unburned paired study sites around the fire perimeter, which had been established in both tundra and forest-tundra in…

Boreal forest disturbance regimes have changed during the past century, in turn changing regeneration and stand dynamics of these forests. This is occurring at the same time that the forest industry is emphasizing operations that take advantage of pre-established natural…
