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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Dougl. is the most widely distributed conifer in North America. Cones of northern populations of the interior variety latifolia are highly serotinous and retain vigorous seed for more than 50 years. Average annual cone production is relatively…

Direct solar radiation to the bark surface of white spruce, Picea glauca (Moench) Voss, is the primary environmental factor influencing the developmental rate of spruce beetles, Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby), in Alaska. A phloem threshold temperature of 16.5 degree C is…

Reconstructions of climate in the Holocene rely heavily on palaeoclimatic indicators such as altitudinal and latitudinal treeline movements inferred from direct (macrofossil) or indirect (pollen) evidence of sites distant from modern treelines. It is suggested here that long-…

In this paper I wish to review certain facets of the role of fire in the ecology of forest game, then go on to speculate about how forest fire protection may influence populations of forest wildlife. Before considering the effects of fire on game, it is necessary to remember…

The shortest answer to the title question is that a fire's effect is independent of its mode of origin. So, rather than recreating the original fire regime per se, it might be more feasible to aim for the vegetation a natural fire regime would create. How to arrange the…

Tree mortality in partially burned areas of the fire perimeter was primarily due to woodborer and bark beetle attacks. In addition, adjacent unburned, healthy trees can be invaded within 1 to 2 years by root-inhabiting fungi that were transmitted by root grafts from infected to…

In 1977 the Bear Creek Fire burned approximately 142,000 hectares. It burned with differing severities and intensities, and burned many vegetation types. Since the area was accessible via the FAA airstrip at Farewell, BLM managers and resource specialists realized that the Bear…
