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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A recent large-scale study of prescribed broadcast burning in western Montana required the development of a system for inventory of clearcut logging slash fuels before and after fire treatment. The system is best suited for inventorying material which tends to be oriented…

This report provides interim fuel consumption guidelines for five common slash fuel complexes found in Ontario. Slash fuel consumption and depth of burn were found to be related to preburn fuel. loadings, and to fire weather as expressed by the Buildup Index (BUI), a component…

The srpuce-fir forest of the Alberta foothills are often characterized by deep organic matter accumulations on the soil surface and cold soil tempertatures, both of which make reforestation difficult and result in a general deterioration in site productivity. Prescribed burning…

Prescribed burning is a preferred treatment in many fuel management situations because of its low cost, campatibility with other land-use objectives, and little or not undesirable side effects. The problems, limitations, and associated consequences of fire treatments are…

An inexpensive and simple technique for measuring the average wind velocity in the lower 600 m of the atmosphere is proposed. The technique uses 30-g pilot balloons filled with helium. Final position of the balloon is measured by a clinometer and a compass--instruments which are…

Rhizina undulata Fr. occurred on about one-third of the 160 logging sites sampled 1 year after each area was burned. Three years after burning, apothecia were rarely found. The fungus causes mortality of seedlings planted on burned sites. Severity of attack within a seedling…
