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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The earth itself: a 'good piece of geography' is basic - from there on, its a matter of human wisdom
From the text ... 'To demonstrate what can be accomplished through modern management when the lands are concentrated enough to be manageable, BLM last year began a Resource Conservation Area Program. The so-called :RCA's' were established on some 85 public land bundles, ranging…
