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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Changing the display format is the least painful way for the fire manager to reduce the cost of AFFIRMS. Some ways to cut costs: •Suppress the headings only if 7 more than three headings can be saved •Pick the shortest display consistent with your needs •Don't use the special…

Alston, Freeman
This paper examines two sets of decision rules for planning-the economic benefit-cost analysis and the sociological approach-and points the way toward a useful integration. A synthesis provides the means, both conceptual and practical, to aid the decision-maker in selecting…

Restricted in size and surrounded by a modified, even alien environment, fragmented ecosystems can suffer a loss of biological diversity, most noticeably through the extinction of species. The extinction process that occurs as result of gragmentation can be divided into four…
