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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Soil heat penetration and predicted postfire understory regeneration [abstract]

Flinn
Heat penetration into a standard medium (dry and wet sand) as well as black spruce and hardwood soils was examined in the laboratory. Tautochrones for 70-minute dry and moist conditions in sand indicated that temperatures greater than 55C (taken here to be lethal) were recorded…

The silvicultural significance of geographic variation in the white Engelmann spruce complex in British Columbia

Roche
One hundred and sixty-two spruce provenances, representing allopatric and sympatric populations of white, Engelmann, and Sitka spruce in British Columbia were sown in a coastal nursery. Twelve of these provenances were randomized in four replications, two of which were of…

Wildland fires and ecosystems--a hypothesis

Mutch
Plant species which have survived fires for tens of thousands of years may not only have selected survival mechanisms, but also inherent flammable properties that contribute to the perpetuation of fire—dependent plant communities. This concept goes by beyond the commonly…

Forest fire history in the central Yukon

Johnson, Strang
A study of 59 sites in the Central Yukon showed no strong correlation between plant community and time since burning, the post-fire seral communities being both site and fire-specific. Fire intervals were 33, 69, 57 and 62 years in the South Ogilvie, North Ogilvie, Eagle Plains…
