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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Waterfowl production and effects of fire on wetlands in the Pah River Flats

Jandt, Morkill
Waterfowl brood surveys were conducted in the Pah River Flats, Alaska during July of 1993. Although spring flooding was extensive, duck production was greater than previous estimates from 1989. A large portion of the study area had burned in a lightning-caused wildfire in the…
