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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This paper shows that there is a reasonable coincidence between the Canada lynx cycle and the occurrence of forest and brush fires. Fires set in motion plant succession, potentially leading to an increase in snowshoe hares (Grange, 1965). Snowfall is also correlated with the…

Laminated sediment (presumed varved) from Greenleaf Lake was examined for evidence of forest fires. A 500-year section dating approximately 770-1270 A.D. was analysed for influx of pollen, charcoal, aluminum, and vanadium using decadal samples. Intervals showing concurrent peaks…

Allometric relations for tree phytomasss distribution on two black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) sites in interior Alaska were developed and compare with entire unit area samples. Tree component mass equations provided R2 values ranging from a low of 0.24 to a high of 0.97…

This study reports the fuel weight and biomass distribution in a 51-year-old lowland and 55-year-old upland black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) stand in interior Alaska. Biomass distribution is shown for overstory, stand and down dead tree components, herbaceous…

During the 2 years after a severe wildfire, concentration of nitrate-N increased from pre-fire levels of 0.015 ppm to 0.56 ppm on a burned, unfertilized watershed and to 0.54 ppm and 1.47 ppm on watersheds that were burned and fertilized with 54 kg/ha of N as ammonium sulfate…

Antelope bitterbrush is a widely adapted shrub occuring throughout the western United States. The many ecotypes of bitterbrush differ in growth habit, growth rate, fire tolerance, drought resistance, palatability, and numerous other attributes. Many also show specific…
