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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 year 1925, in which J.G. Wright formulated his concept of a fire-hazard rating system, is perhaps the most significant date in the evolution of forest-fire research in Canada. But a decade earlier the first (though transitory) attempt in this country to quantify the…

'In conclusion, we believe that David and West overstate the difficulties associated with the use of GLS and understate those with using OLS in the conventional manner. GLS is not a panacea, nor is it a technique for neophytes, but it does offer substantial advantages over OLS…

Fires in ungrazed grassland have negative impacts on small mammal species that are folivorous (microtine rodents and cotton rates), frequently or usually use surface nests of plant debris (microtine rodents, harvest mice, and woodrats), and forage in the litter layer for…

Fire managers from five western regions of the USDA Forest Service were surveyed to determine which decision factors most strongly influenced their fire-risk behavior. Three fire-decision contexts were tested: Escaped Wildfire, Prescribed Burning, and Long-Range Fire Budget…

Classical hypothesis testing is founded on a long—run frequency perspective that is the basis for error rates and P values used in classical statistical inference. Thus in ecological studies involving formal hypothesis testing, it is common practice to report the P value as the…
