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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Production, availability, and utilization of woody browse by moose in winter were recorded in stands of 16 different ages of the Tanana River Floodplain and the Yukon-Tanana uplands of Alaska. These stands represented primary and secondary succession following fire, flooding,…

Sound resource management, including fire management, cannot be based on biased information and incomplete facts. A way to become critical is to understand the basic ecological principles that underlie resource management and that are inherent in the resources under…

Land management goals in the North ought to stem from a land ethic, a care for the terrain. They ought to take account of the historical forces that have produced landscape variety. The occurrences of fires in space and in time have created a patchwork mosaic and thus, have…

The objective of this report is to summarize the current state-of-knowledge of the effects of forest burning on the air resource, and to define research questions of high priority for the management of smoke from prescribed and wild fires. Our purpose was to provide background…

Productivity of the boreal forest in Canada is discussed in relation to location of soils, distribution and species composition of the forest, ecological factors, production and yield, and factors that affect production (fire, insects, diseases, management practices, and air…

The classic concept of nutritional carrying capacity tends to complicate management of Dall sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) populations because they often exist at relatively constant populations sizes over extended periods. The fundamental axiom taught in the wildlife management…

Peter J. Murphy and I were contracted by Alberta Provincial Parks to do a fire history and fuel appraisal study of Kananaskis Provincial Park. Our proposal to Provincial Parks emphasized that detailed knowledge of fire history, fuel loading, and flammability are essential in…

Dispersal and germination were emphasized in this research on seed ecology of most of the woody plant species (54) of the Alaskan taiga and tundra. Information from laboratory experiments under controlled conditions and observations of dispersal and germination under natural…

The seasonal and spatial patterns of dispersal of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) seed were studied from 1986 to 1989 in floodplain stands along the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska. Analysis of the 1987 crop showed that production of filled seed was strongly…

The Alaska vegetation classification presented here is a comprehensive, statewide system that has been under development since 1976. The classification is based, as much as possible, on the characteristics of the vegetation itself and is designed to categorize existing…

A fire in June 1971 burned over 6300 ha of forest dominated by black spruce (Picea mariana) with some stands of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides). This paper reports changes in the soil, vegetation, and wildlife populations in the first 3 yr after the fire.

The Wickersham Dome fire occurred in late June 1971 and burned over 6,300 hectares of predominantly black spruce forest land. Shortly after the fire was controlled, studies of the effects of the fire on various components of the biotic community were under-taken. Results…
