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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Influence of smoke exposure on soil enzyme activities and nitrification

Li, Fredrickson, Ligotke, Van Voris, Rogers
Soil was exposed to red phosphorous/butyl rubber (RP/BR) aerosols at various relative humidities in a recirculating environmental wind tunnel. Soil microbial and enzymatic activities were measured immediately after exposure and periodically thereafter for 56 days. The…

Regrowth of forest understory species following seasonal burning

Flinn, Wein
Small experimental plots in mixed-wood stands of the Acadian Forest were burned in the spring, summer, and autumn to obtain an estimate of the regrowth potential of common forest understory species. The number of stems was measured before burning and then monthly for 5 months…

Survival and growth of planted black spruce, alder, aspen and willow after fire on black spruce/feather moss sites in interior Alaska

Zasada, Norum, Teutsch, Densmore
Seedlings of black spruce, aspen, green alder, and grayleaf willow planted on black spruce/feather moss sites in the boreal forest in interior Alaska survived and grew relatively well over a 6-year period after prescribed burning. Survival of black spruce was significantly…

Thoughts on forest productivity as related to slash burning and other forest practices

DeBell
Three aspects of forest productivity are important in making decisions on slash burning: (1) the risk of losing past productivity accumulated in adjacent stands, (2) productivity of the next timber crop, and (3) long-term soil productivity. Existing knowledge and experience…

Predicted residues and fire behavior in small-stem lodgepole pine stands

Brown, Johnston
Fuel loading, fireline intensity, and expected fire size were determined after harvesting small-stem lodgepole pine stands. Curves relating predicted fireline intensity to slash fuel loading and windspeed are presented. Removing about 15 tons per acre of residues reduced…

Ecology and control of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.)

Apfelbaum, Sams
Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) is a problem grass in many natural wetlands. This paper reviews the literature regarding the ecology and management of reed canary grass and presents preliminary data that suggest reduced soil-seed banks occur in wetland substrates…
