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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Soil was exposed to red phosphorous/butyl rubber (RP/BR) aerosols at various relative humidities in a recirculating environmental wind tunnel. Soil microbial and enzymatic activities were measured immediately after exposure and periodically thereafter for 56 days. The…

The resprouting response of different sized Banksia oblongifolia lignotubers (genets) was followed in two field experiments. In thefirst, the density and speed of resprouting, and the growth in length of the leading shoot from each lignotuber in response to fire and to the time…

(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

Population characteristics of sympatric Testudo hermanni and T graeca were compared at four sites in northern Greece; Alyki, Epanomi, Keramoti and Lagos. These had different habitats and levels of human disturbance. The density of tortoises larger than 10cm was similar at all…

Small experimental plots in mixed-wood stands of the Acadian Forest were burned in the spring, summer, and autumn to obtain an estimate of the regrowth potential of common forest understory species. The number of stems was measured before burning and then monthly for 5 months…

Emission factors and the size distribution for smoke particles from prescribed fire are described from data collected by airborne sampling, surface sampling using towers, and combustion hood systems. Emission factors for particulate matter (g/kg) range from 4 to 16 for particles…

The advent of 'fire management' has increased the need to understand and predict fire effects on vegetation. Such prediction is greatly complicated by the many factors that influence fire characteristics and plant response. Nevertheless, a few approaches have been developed to…

Data on lumber, chip and sawdust vol. recovery and lumber value were analysed for live and fire-killed Picea glauca trees from an experimental forest area near Fairbanks. The dead trees were sampled either 2 yr or 3 yr after the fire in order to evaluate the effects of…

Moose (Alces alces shirasi) numbers and use of habitat were studied on the Streeter Basin Experimental Watershed in the montane aspen zone of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, between 1969 and 1983. Habitat use was measured by pellet counts and directs…

[This is not the abstract; do not cite.] As part of a broader study to examine interactions between fire and spruce-lichen woodlands, dendrochronological samples, including 13 fire scars and 57 stand-origin dates, were collected across a small study area located in spruce-lichen…

This biological report fills two important voids in the libraries of many wildlife biologists- an annotated bibliography on fire in north America wetland ecosystems and a subject index of all fire-related literature that has appeared in Wildlife Review.

The George River herd in northern Quebec/Labrador increased from about 5000 animals in 1945 to 472,200 (or 1.1 caribou multiplied by km^-2) prior to the 1984 calving season. The range used by the herd expanded from 160,000 to 442,000 km2 for the period 1971-84. The exponential…

Over the past two decades numerous paleoecological records have become available for describing past plant communities. They show that vegetation has changed on almost all temporal and spatial scales in response to natural environmental variation. Because species have responded…
