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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

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…

Parasites, lightning, and the vegetation mosaic in wilderness landscapes

Knight
From the Introduction ... 'The vegetation mosaic in any landscape is a function of environmental variation and historic disturbances, whether caused by humans or other factors. Many studies have focused on species composition in relation to environmental gradients, and secondary…

Procedures for ovendrying forest slash components and organic matter; study carried out in Alberta, 1967-1971

Ponto
Slash components and organic matter from alpine fir, Lodgepole pine, and white spruce stands and clearcuts were ovendried to determine elapsed drying time. Weighings at specific intervals showed that each fuel component dried exponentially and that the time required to ovendry…

Heat of combustion, heat yield, and fire behavior

Van Wagner
From the text: 'The purpose of this Report is to present the heats of combustion of some forest fuels at Petawawa, and to discuss the reductions necessary to arrive at a practical heat yield suitable for calculating a fire's energy output rate.'
