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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Restoring a mixed prairie process: The fire bison grazing interaction [abstract]

Steuter
The post-glacial evolution of North American Mixed Prairie was influenced by the physical process of fire and the biological process of bison (Bison bison) grazing. These disturbances interacted with aboveground herbaceous production being the primary fuel and forage. The fire…

Reconstructing fire behaviour and effects in a subalpine forest

Fryer, Johnson
(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…

A dimensionless correlation for the spread of wind-driven fires

Nelson, Adkins
Data for the behavior of 59 experimental wind-driven fires were extracted from the literature for use in determining a correlation among several variables known to influence the rate of forest fire spread. Also included in the correlation were unpublished data from six field…

The role of released moisture in the atmospheric dynamics associated with wildland fires

Potter
Combustion of woody material produces and releases water, but the effects of this water on the atmospheric circulation created by a wildfire are rarely recognized, let alone understood. This paper presents observational data and basic physical arguments to support the hypothesis…
