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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Tree mortality in partially burned areas of the fire perimeter was primarily due to woodborer and bark beetle attacks. In addition, adjacent unburned, healthy trees can be invaded within 1 to 2 years by root-inhabiting fungi that were transmitted by root grafts from infected to…

A major portion of the prime waterfowl breeding habitat in western Canada occurs in areas of intense agricultural activity. Modifications to small wetlands in these areas (burning, mowing, clearing, filling, and draining) are commonly carried out by agriculturalists in an effort…

Goals for vegetation management in wilderness areas have been difficult to define. Short return interval, low-intensity fire regimes offer the most promise for structurally oriented vegetation management goals, although there are some long-return interval or high-intensity fire…

An account of the progress and control of a fire started on 29 May 1983 following an unusually dry and mild early spring, and lasting 18 days covering nearly 10,000 acres of forest and involving losses of over $5 million. Measures included the use of bulldozed control lines…
