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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Geological processes such as erosion and sedimentation redistribute toxic pollutants introduced to the landscape by mining, agriculture, weapons development, and other human activities. A significant portion of these contaminants is insoluble, adsorbing to soils and sediments…

Forest overstory composition influences both light and nutrient availability in the mixed boreal forest. The influence of stand composition on understory cover and biomass was investigated on two soil types (clay and till deposits). Four forest composition types were considered…

Early studies suggested that simple ecosystems were less than complex ones, but later studies came to the opposite conclusion. Confusion arose because of the many different meanings of 'complexity' and 'stability'. Most of the possible questions about the relationship between…

A method of photographing and digitizing radial growth on section rounds from destructively sampled trees for stem analysis was developed and compared in accuracy against hand measurements on those same rounds. Results indicated a high degree of correlation between photographic…

Methods are described for sampling and estimating mortality rates using strips of large-scale color aerial photography as the primary sampling unit. The methods have been designed to be used in situations where steep terrain and the lack of a radar altimeter make it very…

Fuel values were determined for stems and branches in three hardwood species: white oak, yellow-poplar, and sweetgum. A significant difference was found between the higher heating value of the stemwood and branchwood of white oak. Otherwise, no difference in higher heating value…

...The purpose of this study was limited to producing information for use in the prediction of crown fire behavior, not to yield a complete account of foliar moisture dynamics in black spruce. The feature of primary interest, therefore is the trend of average foliar moisture…
