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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 influence of surface cover on thaw penetration in alpine and arctic soils of Alaska was determined. Several manipulated treatments were employed: removal of all vegetation, mulching, shearing and fire. Thaw and subsidence more than doubled on the bare and sheared plots and…

To determine scale-specific effects of disturbance type, soil, and topography on regenerating plant species, we compared regeneration in 10- and 50-year-old clearcuts and burns in Southeastern Labrador. Data were analyzed at three scales of resolution: subplot (5 m2), plot (398…

Phytolith analysis was applied to several sites in a Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi Grev. & Balf.)-mixed conifer forest in the Sierra San Pedro Martir, Baja California, Mexico, to explore the hypothesis that the introduction of livestock in the late 18th century led to…

This study presents an exploratory analysis of Ontario lightning and fire ignition data*. Our main goal is to relate forest fire ignitions to lightning stroke occurrences. However, due to the sheer volume of the lightning data, as well as accuracy and missing data issues,…

Recent studies have shown that emissions of mercury (Hg), a hazardous air pollutant, from fires can be significant. However, to date, these emissions have not been well-quantified for the entire United States. Daily emissions of Hg from fires in the lower 48 states of the United…

An efficient and accurate inventory of forest fuels at large scales is critical for assessment of forest fire hazards across landscapes. The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program of the USDA Forest Service conducts a national inventory of fuels along with blind…

A description is made of a long run forest fire danger index. The index is based on the principle that forest fires follow a self-organized critical behavior, which establishes that under a wide variety of circumstances, forest fires maintain an exponential relationship over…

Classification of high-latitude landscapes into their appropriate biomes is important for many climate and global change-related issues. Unfortunately, large-scale, high-spatial-resolution observations of plant assemblages associated with these regions are generally unavailable…
