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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Growth stimulation of adjacent plants by Lupine and Alder on recent glacier deposits in southeastern Alaska

Lawrence, Hulbert
Lupinus spp. and Alnus crispa subsp. sinuata are the first plants to look healthy and grow rapidly on cold raw mineral deposits exposed through glacier recession. Lupin causes associated willows, grasses and fire-weed to bloom and to grow several times as fast as plants growing…

Participatory geographic information systems as an organizational platform for the integration of traditional and scientific knowledge in contemporary fire and fuels management

McBride, Sanchez-Trigueros, Carver, Watson, Stumpff, Matt, Borrie
Traditional knowledge about fire and its effects held by indigenous people, who are connected to specific landscapes, holds promise for informing contemporary fire and fuels management strategies and augmenting knowledge and information derived from western science. In practice…

Rapid shifts in soil nutrients and decomposition enzyme activity in early succession following forest fire

Knelman, Graham, Ferrenberg, Lecoeuvre, Labrado, Darcy, Nemergut, Schmidt
While past research has studied forest succession on decadal timescales, ecosystem responses to rapid shifts in nutrient dynamics within the first months to years of succession after fire (e.g., carbon (C) burn-off, a pulse in inorganic nitrogen (N), accumulation of organic…

Modeling long-term changes in tundra carbon balance following wildfire, climate change, and potential nutrient addition

Jiang, Rastetter, Shaver, Rocha, Zhuang, Kwiatkowski
To investigate the underlying mechanisms that control long-term recovery of tundra carbon (C) and nutrients after fire, we employed the Multiple Element Limitation (MEL) model to simulate 200-yr post-fire changes in the biogeochemistry of three sites along a burn severity…

The effect of forest succession upon the quality and upon the nutritive values of woody plants used as food by moose

Cowan, Hoar, Hatter
Quantity of available palatable browse, vitamin content of available trees and shrubs, and moisture, protein, carbohydrate, ether extractive, and total mineral content, were determined for 3 stages in forest succession in British Columbia, in order to explain the cause of the…

Physiological stress and ethanol accumulation in tree stems and woody tissues at sublethal temperatures from fire

Kelsey, Westlind
The lethal temperature limit is 60 degrees Celsius (°C) for plant tissues, including trees, with lower temperatures causing heat stress. As fire injury increases on tree stems, there is an accompanying rise in tissue ethanol concentrations, physiologically linked to impaired…
