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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This review summarizes the available literature relevant to British Columbia concerning the influences of harvesting and post-harvest practices upon the forest environment and resources, and points out significant gaps in knowledge where research would be useful. This will aid…

From the text ... 'In the definition of ecological factors important to mammals fire usually has not been ranked with temperature, moisture, or light, or even with soil, shelter, or seasonality. However, fire and fire perpetuated environments, such as grasslands, have been of…

The performance of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) is analyzed with respect to wildfire behavior in Ontario for a 7-year period (1965-1971). Lightning fires and man-caused fires are analyzed separately and regional differences in fire weather and fire behavior are…

The Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) was issued in 1970 after several years' work by a number of fire researchers in the Canadian Forestry Service. The best features of the former fire danger index were incorporated in the FWI, and a link was preserved between old and…

Air flow in the natural environment affects the distribution of organisms, mechnical stresses, heat losses by convection, and moisture distribution. Air flow was visualized by bubble tracers in a wind tunnel, and the flow patterns over solid barriers 5 and 15 cm high and 0%, 25…

From the summary ... ' In summary, the results of these large scale fire tests, conducted under marginal burning conditions, were negative; but, paradoxically, I find this very heartening, for we can now be much more confident in our predictions of fire behavior to be expected…

Prediction equations arc presented for use in estimating total aboveground weight and maximum leaf weight for 22 species of woody plants. Stem diameter at the ground line was found to be closely correlated with both total and leaf weights. This diameter was therefore used in the…

Eight species of fungi isolated from a water repellent soil were incubated for varying periods of time in silica sand. In their latter stages of growth. two of the fungi, Aspergillus Sidowi and Penicillium nigricans, caused limited water repellency in the sand. All the fungal…

This paper analysizes wind speed and direction distributions obtained at nine forestry stations and nine airports across Canada. The effect of differences in the distributions on forest fire danger rating is discussed. The major finding is that forestry stations have a…
