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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Too often, wilderness conservation ignores a temporal perspective greater than the past 50 years, yet a long-term perspective (centuries to millennia) reveals the dynamic nature of many ecosystems. Analysis of fossil pollen, charcoal and stable isotopes, combined with historical…

Agricultural straw is used in forested areas of the United States for erosion control on burned areas, harvest landings, decommissioned road prisms, road cuts and fills, and other areas of disturbed soil. Two blends of wood strands were statistically equal to straw in reducing…

This plan called the 'All Lands/All Hands Action Plan' puts forth a bold, collaborative interagency strategy of compelling on-the-ground actions that emphasizes treatments in community wildfire protection plan (CWPP) areas and wildland urban interface areas (WUI) that lie…

The goal of this project was to develop methods to help wildland fire managers design long term, landscape scale management plans. Although wildland fire managers have a full spectrum of strategies available for reducing fuels, they lack tools for applying these strategies at…

Surveys of homeowners in three different ecosystems with varying fuels management approaches reveal that homeowners' trust in natural resource agencies is significantly associated with perceived risks and benefits and with perceived agency competence. A weaker association…

Plans for watershed rehabilitation after a wildfire must be developed and implemented as quickly as possible after containment to be effective. One of the most difficult inputs to generate is the assessment of how the wildfire affected the hydraulic properties of the soil,…

The objectives of this reply are to: (1) clarify the scope and intent of the authors' original paper [See Canadian Journal of Forest Research (2002) 32, 1496-1501]; (2) respond to the issue of accuracy of concept; and (3) discuss its relevance to the broader issue of forest…

The Fire Effects Information System (FEIS) provides information on the Internet about the biology, ecology, and effects of fire on about 1,000 plant species, animal species, and vegetation types. FEIS summarizes the scientific literature regarding fire effects on most dominant…

Biophysical settings describe site-specific physical and biotic conditions from which landscape composition, structure and function can be predicted, and represent a key starting point on the road to predicting fire regimes across landscapes. Previous efforts to map biophysical…

Chenopod plants (Family Chenopodiaceae) are distributed worldwide but are especially prominent in some wet and dry saline or alkaline situations. Chenopods are both herbaceous and woody. The relative proportions of life-forms in the family is demonstrated by data from the…

Wildfire can cause water repellency and consume plant canopy, surface plants and litter, and structure-enhancing organics within soil. Changes in soil moisture, structure, and infiltration can accelerate surface runoff, erosion, sediment transport, and deposition. Intense…

Fire performs many beneficial ecosystem functions in dry forests and rangelands across much of North America. In the last century, however, the role of fire has been dramatically altered by numerous anthropogenic factors acting as root causes of the current fire crisis,…

Plant invasions are widely recognized as significant threats to biodiversity conservation worldwide. One way invasions can affect native ecosystems is by changing fuel properties, which can in turn affect fire behavior and, ultimately, alter fire regime characteristics such as…
