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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

(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…

The forests of the Wapiti map area, Alberta, were studied to ascertain relationships among forest growth, plant community distribution, and environmental factors within the western boreal and subalpine forests. Quantitative data on tree productivity, vegetation, and soils were…

From the text:'This paper desribes two generalized decision models that partically characterize decision processes for the evaluation and execution of prescribed fires. Although the two models do not incorporate all the factors managers must consider in planning for prescribed…

An hypothesis that there is a fundamental relationship between the epidemiology of Denderoctonus frontalis Zimn. and the occurence of lightning in pine forests of the southern U.S. is presented. Evidence to support the hypothesis is provided through an examination of 1.…

Forest fire prevention data from ten different forest protection agencies in Canada were analyzed and evaluated. Data currently being collected fail to provide the information required for effective fire prevention programs. Information on the unsafe acts and conditions at the…

Leaf litter of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and lodgepole-jack pine (Pious contorta Loud. x P. banksiana Lamb.) was decomposed in laboratory microcosms at 2, 10, 18, or 260C and three Watering rates (15, 30, or 60 mL x week-1) for 16 weeks. Aspen litter lost 5.0-…

The fire history of the wilderness of southeastern Labrador is marked by a patchy distribution of large fires in time and space. During the 110-year period encompassed by this study, major fires occurred in four decades, 1870-1879, 1890-1899, 1950-1959, 1970-1979. From 1900 to…

The high variablility of burning conditions and fuels, found in Alaskan forest fires, produces an associated complex emission of particulate matter. Histological evidence of some large particles has been found in the forest fire plumes as well as aerosols resulting apparently…

In the National Fire-Danger Rating System (NFDRS), a correction is added to fuel moisture stick values to offset weathering effects. This correction is now being adjusted to compensate for different weathering rates in different climates. The corrections for NFDRS climate class…

The effect of climate on tree rings may change over time as a result of stand dynamics or environmental stress. These dynamic effects can be studied using theory and computer programs and further information on their use are availabe from the authors.

Changes in solar radiation arising from changes in the orientation of the earth?s axis had pronounced effects on tropical monsoons and mid-latitude climates as well as on ice-sheet configuration during the last 18,000 years. COHMAP (Cooperative Holocene Mapping Project) has…
