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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Yearly applications of N, P, and K fertilizer for a 6-year period to a young, postfire aspen forest, resulted in substantial increases in tree growth primarily in response to nitrogen. The main effect of N was to increase, by at least a factor of two, the stand leaf area index,…

In Interior Alaska, firelines are often constructed to help control and contain wildfires. In the early 1960's and early 1970's, the firelines were built, as in the western states, by tractors with bulldozer blades that scraped off the organic mat, knocked down trees, and pushed…

A method is described for delineating fire climate zones, using a multiple regression relationship between a fire danger parameter and simple climatic averages. In this example, climatic averages were rainfall and daily max. temp. for the May-Aug. fire season. Fire danger was…
