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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 on the Earth today looks the way it does because of the expansion of Europe, first as an imperial power, then as the vector for industrialization. The 'suppression' paradigm characteristic of Europe's frontiers derived from the collision of intra-European experiences with…

Foresters have many of the technical tools to manage forests so they will have relatively low susceptibility to fires. These tools include fire behavior models, stand growth models, geographic information systems, and stand inventories. The silviculture laboratory at the…

It is now apparent that fire once played a role in shaping all but the wettest, the most arid, or the most fire-sheltered plant communities of the United States. Understanding the role of fire in structuring vegetation is critical for land management choices that will, for…

Fire exclusion in wildlands during the last century has caused the excessive accumulation of fuels that has resulted in catastrophic fires. In spite of devastating losses from fire, human development continues to increase in the wildland-urban interface. Additional houses and…

The importance of large fire events in shaping the structure and composition of subalpine forests has recently gained a great deal of attention from resource managers. High elevation forests dominated by Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa)…

We present a flexible, extensible method for integrating multiple tools into a single large decision support system (DSS) using a forest ecosystem management DSS (NED-2) as an example. In our approach, a rich ontology for the target domain is developed and implemented in the…

The wildland-urban interface (WUI) is the area where houses meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland vegetation. The WUI is thus a focal area for human-environment conflicts, such as the destruction of homes by wildfires, habitat fragmentation, introduction of exotic…

The application of hazard and risk analysis to specific project areas prone to uncharacteristic wildland fires is a useful way to estimate the effects of management alternatives (including no action). These project-level analyses need to be done in the context of surrounding…
