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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 Fire Effects Information System (FEIS) is a computerized encyclopedia that summarizes the general ecology and effects of fire on more than 1,000 plant and animal species and plant communities. These 'summaries' synthesize current information in an easy-to-use format and…

[from the text] The general effect of fire on shrubs should always be considered in relation to the ecological potential of a community. In grasslands, shrubs have a difficult time maintaining a dominant position due to competition from healthy grasses, droughts, and occasional…

Boreal forest regeneration dynamics: Modeling early forest establishment patterns in interior Alaska
Ecological processes are responsible for vegetation trajectory within the boreal forest landscape of interior Alaska. The reproductive response of boreal forest to disturbance controls vegetation trajectory. Boreal forest reproduction dynamics are influenced by both biotic and…

This evaluation concludes that more hemlock sawfly defoliation can be expected to occur in 1973 in the Ward Lake area. Saddle-backed looper is at endemic levels at Connell Lake. If the summer of 1973 is warmer than normal we can expect both the sawfly and the black-headed…

Reports promising results of trials in 1969-71 on the use of cloud 'seeding' to increase rainfall up-wind of active forest fires [cf. FA 34, 2932]. Of 18 missions flown, 'non-seedable' conditions were observed near the target fire on 6 occasions. Of the other 12 missions, 2…
