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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Radiative transfer effects in natural convection above fires

Murgai
This paper describes the results of examining the influence of radiative heat transfer on turbulent natural convection above fires in an atmosphere of constant potential temperature, under both the 'opaque' and 'transparent' approximations. It turns out that on the basis of the…

Mathematical study of wood-burning mechanisms, prepared for publication in the AIChE journal

Weatherford
The mechanism of wood burning has been subjected to mathematical analysis. Extensive finite-difference computations for symmetrical and nonsymmetrical heating of flat wood slabs have provided results which appear to shed additional light upon the mechanisms leading to stable…

The effect of exposure on slash inflammability

Williams
From the text... 'The final conclusion was, then that for the type of slash studied there is no need to adjust the slash hazard index for exposure through that part of the fire season when wildfires are more likely to occur but, if the ratings are to be used as guides in fall…

Some effects of artificial defoliation on the growth of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.)

O'Neil
Young jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) were defoliated manually to measure the effects of defoliation on growth of this species, and to determine the relative efficiency of foliage of different ages with respect to growth. The removal of 2-year-old or 3-year-old foliage had no…

The influence of temperature on the location and development of decay fungi in lodgeple pine logging slash

Loman
In an investigation to determine the fungal flora of lodgepole pine logging slash and the growth rates and decaying ablilities of the principal fungi in vitro as contrasted with conditions in nature, four hymenomycetes were isolated consistently and proved to cause most of the…

Effects of burrow collapse on stress and immune responsiveness of gopher tortoises [abstract]

Kahn, Balbach, Guyer, Mendonca, Beauman
The gopher tortoise is federally listed in the western portion of its range, and a species of concern elsewhere. In both populations, the need to relocate animals whose burrows are threatened by development is common. Different practices for relocation have been studied, but…

Wildland fire regimes vary with human population density, topography, and climate. The significance of these factors is often difficult to understand and identify at short temporal and small spatial scales. Dendrochronological fire histories from Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri,…
