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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Structural and compositional changes were analysed over the course of 400+ yr of post-fire succession in the sub-boreal forests of west-central British Columbia. Using a chronosequence of 57 stands ranging from 11 to 438 yr in age, we examined changes in forest structure and…

The emission of mercury from biomass burning was investigated in laboratory experiments and the results confirmed in airborne measurements on a wildfire near Hearst, Ont. Mercury contained in vegetation (live, dead, coniferous, deciduous) was essentially completely released in…

From the Conclusion ... 'Our objective was to infer the drivers of temporal variation in fire regiimes in pine-oak forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental in north-central Mexico. We reconstructed a multicentury history (1772-1994) of the occurrence of surface fires from 1469…

From the Conclusion ... 'A comprehensive, mechanistic simulation of wildland fire and ecosystem dynamics across a landscape may not be possible because of computer limitations, inadequate research, inconsistent data, and extensive parameterization. Therefore empirical and…

Wildfires are important in regions dominated by forest, such as found in large parts of Canada. The principal objective of this study was to provide homogeneously distributed indices for the Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) System. The FWI was calculated using four sets of…

From the text ... 'Wildfires have been much in the news in the last few summers. Often, these fires are reported in adrenalin-charged terms like 'firestorms' or 'catastrophes', yet ecologists have known for almost half a century that fires and other natural disturbance processes…

The development of policies that promote ecological, economic, and cultural sustainability requires collaboration between natural and social scientists. We present a modeling approach to facilitate this communication and illustrate its application to studies of wildfire in the…
