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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The slash (I) fuel model of the 1972 National Fire Danger Rating System was evaluated for homogeneity within the model and for differences from other fuel models. Clearcut slash is different from partial cut slash at the 1-percent level of confidence. Pacific Northwest clearcut…

Recently, a method for determining moisture in soil using a microwave oven was described by Miller, Smith, and Biggar (1974). This procedure requires special beakers and, in some cases, long times for heating. We describe here a simplified method for soil moisture determination…

Two closely related, critical decisions in forest management are: (1) selecting the best tree species to regenerate on a given site, and (2) devising the most appropriate method of cutting an old-growth stand with its regeneration in mind. Both decisions presume knowledge of a…

A successional process model has been adapted for use with species from ponderosa pine/Douglas-fir forests of the inland Northwest. Its design allows modification for application to other forest types. This model, FIRESUM, simulates tree establishment, growth, and mortality,…

Dwarf mistletoes are markedly host specific, perennial, obligate parasites. The success of mistletoe populations is tied not only to the suitability of the environment, but also to the availability and conditions of the hosts they infect. Thus, the dynamics of forest stand…
