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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Food competition and range relationships of moose and snowshoe hare in Newfoundland

Dodds
Presents the results of a 3-year study. Both species feed extensively on herbaceous plants in summer, and depend on woody plants in winter; they browse most intensively up to a height of 6 ft. and to a high degree of intensity on the species selected. Moose feed most heavily on…

Mapping fires with the FIRE MOUSE TRAP

Dipert, Warren
A description is given of the FIRE MOUSE TRAP (FMT - Flying Infrared Enhanced Manoeuvrable Operational User Simple Electronic Tactical Reconnaissance and Patrol) system for mapping forest fires, which was first used experimentally in Alaska in 1985. Forward looking infrared…

Respiration and mass loss rates of aspen and pine leaf litter decomposing in laboratory microcosms

Taylor, Parkinson
Respiration rates and mass losses of decomposing pine (Pinus contorta Loud. X P. banksiana Lamb.) and aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) leaf litter were compared in laboratory microcosms for a range of temperature and moisture levels. For both litter types, a pair of high-…

Sources, fates, and impacts of nitrogen inputs to terrestrial ecosystems: review and synthesis

Boring, Swank, Waide, Henderson
The relative importance of nitrogen inputs from atmospheric depositions and biological fixation is reviewed in a number of diverse, non-agricultural terrestrial ecosystems. Rates of both symbiotic and nonsymbiotic fixation appear to be greater during early succession stages of…

Ecological effects of forest fires

Ahlgren, Ahlgren
A review of literature, with chief reference to North America, but including also much literature from other parts of the world, under the main heads: effects of fire on soil (moisture relations, texture, temperature during and after burning, fertility, and chemical composition…

The role of fire on earth: a review of the state of knowledge and a systems framework for satellite and ground-based observations

Robinson
Fire links the biosphere and the atmosphere. The linkage is, as yet, poorly quantified. Evidence suggests that a few percent of total C fixed by photosynthesis is oxidized by burning. Biomass burning seems to be globally significant in terms of associated: • Releases of trace…

Predicting postfire mortality of seven western conifers

Ryan, Reinhardt
We used data on 2356 trees from 43 prescribed fires in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington states to model postfire tree mortality. Data were combined for seven species of conifers to develop binary logistic regression models for predicting the probability of mortality.…
