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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 existing levels of fire protection expenditures, if considered adequate by the forest manager, give an idea of the nonwood values of a forest as seen by him. The decisions regarding future protection expenditures can be improved by considering them together with the…

Earth hummocks occur on vast areas of perennially frozen mineral soils in the western Canadian subarctic regions. Different vegetation grows on different parts of the hummocks. The tops of the hummocks are vegetated by plants that have no roots (lichens, mosses) or by short-…

Extensive stands of the boreal forest of Canada in the late successional stages provide a suitable habitat for some birds and for caribou but are unsuitable for many other species. Deer, moose, beaver, ruffed grouse and many other birds and mammals require the greater amounts of…

Recent surveys in the Canadian subarctic have shown the wide distribution of cryogenic earth-hummock soils with permafrost. A study of chemical, physical, mineralogical and micromorphological features revealed quite acidic, partially unsaturated surface horizons, large amounts…

Trend studies of browse ranges employ permanent plots or permanently-tagged stems. Changes in browse yield and use may be accurately estimated using a relatively small sample if successive measurements are taken on the same stems. The survey method decribed here combines the…
