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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A process concept for integrating fire into land use planning is discussed. A general planning process includes: identify issues, set objectives, gather information, develop alternatives, select alternative, feedback and adjust selection, develop implementation plans. Fire…

From introduction: 'From 8 to 18 August 1968, a forest-tundra fire burnt in the Inuvik, Northwest Territories area (Hill, 1969). The fire destroyed tens of square kilometres of lichen-rich tundra and forest-tundra. As a direct result of the fire, some bare hillslopes became…

Caribou select areas of relatively shallow snow for winter feeding, and do so on at least two levels: broad area and microsite. They do not normally select sites with snow-packs having mean integrated Ram hardness values in excess of 85. However, in areas of relatively shallow…

National concern for the welfare of fish and wildlife in Alaska is evidenced by provision in the Alaska Statehood Act withholding administration of this resource from the state until such time as the Secretary of the Interior certifies to the Congress that the Alaska State…

Fire is one of several natural and man-controlled agents that can alter the mass balance of terrestrial ecosystems. Frequent long-term burning generally decreases biomass and detritus, which together constitute a global carbon reservoir about three times that of the atmosphere.…

For 21 study sites in the Acadia Forest Experiment Station, near Fredericton, New Brunswick, 34 common understory species were studied to determine the depth of underground plant organs capable of growing shoots. Depth of these plant parts tended to be species specific. These…

From the text ... 'These data demonstrate that the blue-green algae are possible one of the microbial groups most adversely affected in ecosystems exposed to SO2 and NOx pollution. The potential sensitivity of bule-green agaae are particularly interesting because the blue-green…

Prescribed burning under mature Larch/Douglas‐fir forests produced changes in elemental uptake. Elemental analyses of individual species and existing biomass three years post‐burn from hot, medium, and lightly burned sites and unburned controls showed a significant shift in…

Plants of the prairie peninsula have persisted in southwestern Ontario in localized areas where a high water table in spring, severe drought in midsummer, and intermittent burning have limited forest encroachment. Unlike these relicts of the postglacial xerothermic period, a…

Distribution of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in the tree, understory, forest floor, and mineral soil horizons was determined for two series of postfire foerest stands in northeastern New Brunswick. Twelve pure jack pine stands (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and 11 mixed hardwood stands aged 7-…

A stainless steel laboratory chamber to hold the entire combustion products from a small scale pine needle fire was useful for measuring the photochemical activity of pine needle fire smoke. Particle size distributions indicated that the nucleation of small numbers of submicron…

From the text...'This paper deals with certain fragments of carbon and interprets them as fossil charcoal produced by fire. This is no new idea; it was warmly put forward and warmly opposed a century ago, but of late interest has died because of lack of fresh evidence. Such…
