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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Rates of spread of wildfires were measured for different directions in various fuel types and various weather conditions in the fire seasons of 1969, 1970 and 1971. The rate of spread curves were compared with those predicted by the National Fire-Danger Rating System. The…

[from the text] Many northern forest trees reproduce best on bare-soil seedbeds, and fire is the major agency that prepares the land for their seeding.It is equally true that periods of abundance for many northern forest animals stand in the relationship X-years-following-fire,…

Moose populations on the Kenai National Moose Range have fluctuated following major wildfires since at least the mid-1800's. After a 1,255 km{+2} wildfire in 1947, the moose population increased at least 13 percent per year to 1959, fluctuated around a peak of 3,000 moose…

This paper shows that there is a reasonable coincidence between the Canada lynx cycle and the occurrence of forest and brush fires. Fires set in motion plant succession, potentially leading to an increase in snowshoe hares (Grange, 1965). Snowfall is also correlated with the…

Laminated sediment (presumed varved) from Greenleaf Lake was examined for evidence of forest fires. A 500-year section dating approximately 770-1270 A.D. was analysed for influx of pollen, charcoal, aluminum, and vanadium using decadal samples. Intervals showing concurrent peaks…

Allometric relations for tree phytomasss distribution on two black spruce (Picea mariana Mill. B.S.P.) sites in interior Alaska were developed and compare with entire unit area samples. Tree component mass equations provided R2 values ranging from a low of 0.24 to a high of 0.97…

Nylon and fiberglass bags containing 5 grams of air-dry, black spruce needles, when placed on the feather-moss-covered floor of an upland black spruce stand, which had been thinned and clear-cut, showed losses in weight, at the end of two grwoing seasons, of up to 34%. The…

A diffusion flame burner was operated to determine the effect of several parameters on the quality of NOx and unburned hydrocarbons produced. The statistical analysis indicated the unburned hydrocarbon emissions to be dependent upon the rate of heat release in the system, the…
