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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Responses of a riparian forest-floor arthropod community to wildfire in the middle Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico

Bess, Parmenter, McCoy, Molles
We documented patterns of species extirpation, shifts in species dominance, and rates of recolonization of litter-layer arthropod species following a catastrophic forest fire. The study site was located along the Rio Grande within the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge,…

Rough fescue (Festuca campestris Rydb.) response to heat injury

Bogen, Bork, Willms
Rough fescue (Festuca campestris Rydb.) is an ecologically and economically important native plant species within grasslands of southwest Alberta. This is also a region where wildfires have become prevalent over the last decade. While the risk of long-term damage from fire may…

Information systems in support of wildland fire management decision making in Canada

Lee, Alexander, Hawkes, Lynham, Stocks, Englefield
This paper provides an overview of four national forest fire management information systems currently used in Canada. The Canadian forest fire danger rating system (CFFDRS) is a non-spatial system, which provides the science framework for fire danger rating in Canada. The…

Predicting the fate of sediment and pollutants in river floodplains

Malmon, Dunne, Reneau
Geological processes such as erosion and sedimentation redistribute toxic pollutants introduced to the landscape by mining, agriculture, weapons development, and other human activities. A significant portion of these contaminants is insoluble, adsorbing to soils and sediments…

Influence of forest composition on understory cover in boreal mixedwood forests of western Quebec

Legare, Bergeron, Paré
Forest overstory composition influences both light and nutrient availability in the mixed boreal forest. The influence of stand composition on understory cover and biomass was investigated on two soil types (clay and till deposits). Four forest composition types were considered…

Distribution of moisture in spruce-fir duff and its relevance to fire danger rating

Kiil
Moisture content, owing to its direct effect on flammability of forest fuels, must be incorporated into a fire danger rating system. Accurate indicators of moisture content in different fuels are particularly important when separate burning tables are required for major fuel…

Reference manual and summary of test fire, fuel moisture and weather observations made by forest fire researchers between 1931 and 1961

Simard
Between 1931 and 1961 Canadian forest fire researchers gathered a vast quantity of data on weather, fuel moisture and test fire behavior. The original purpose of the data was primarily for the development of forest fire danger tables. The data was gathered at 11 field stations…

Fungal deterioration of second-growth Douglas-fir logs in coastal British Columbia

Smith, Craig, Chu
Fungal deterioration of second-growth Douglas-fir logs, felled each month from August 1961 to May 1962, was studied 2, 4, and 6 years after felling. Decay increased 10% of log volumes after 2 years to 47% after 6 years. The rate of decay, particularly for the brown cubical type…
