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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

In 1957, circular plots in a burnt clear-felled area, in old-growth Western Hemlock and Sitka Spruce and in an adjacent unburnt area, were sown after burning, first by hand and again, 3 months later, from the air. Results were assessed from initial seedling establishment (from…

A process concept for integrating fire into land use planning is discussed. A general planning process includes: identify issues, set objectives, gather information, develop alternatives, select alternative, feedback and adjust selection, develop implementation plans. Fire…

From introduction: 'From 8 to 18 August 1968, a forest-tundra fire burnt in the Inuvik, Northwest Territories area (Hill, 1969). The fire destroyed tens of square kilometres of lichen-rich tundra and forest-tundra. As a direct result of the fire, some bare hillslopes became…

Caribou select areas of relatively shallow snow for winter feeding, and do so on at least two levels: broad area and microsite. They do not normally select sites with snow-packs having mean integrated Ram hardness values in excess of 85. However, in areas of relatively shallow…

Fire is one of several natural and man-controlled agents that can alter the mass balance of terrestrial ecosystems. Frequent long-term burning generally decreases biomass and detritus, which together constitute a global carbon reservoir about three times that of the atmosphere.…

Forest succession on north slopes in interior Alaska results in the development of sphagnum bogs on sites formerly occupied by productive forest. This process is one of gradual deterioration of site associated with the accumulation of moss layers on the forest floor. Advancing…

For 21 study sites in the Acadia Forest Experiment Station, near Fredericton, New Brunswick, 34 common understory species were studied to determine the depth of underground plant organs capable of growing shoots. Depth of these plant parts tended to be species specific. These…

Presents the results of a 3-year study. Both species feed extensively on herbaceous plants in summer, and depend on woody plants in winter; they browse most intensively up to a height of 6 ft. and to a high degree of intensity on the species selected. Moose feed most heavily on…

Feeding trials from Nov. 1962 through June 1963, in an outdoor enclosure in Alaska, showed that red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) can survive for 3 weeks and possibly more, solely on Picea glauca seed, consuming ca. 144 cones/day/squirrel, but they thrive poorly on P.…

Burning experiments conducted in the labortory indicated a 25-64 per cent loss of nitrogen from the forest floor at temperatures of 300-700ºC. Burning increased the nitrogen concentration of the residual material, but the total amount of nitrogen decreased. This may explain the…

Prescribed burning under mature Larch/Douglas‐fir forests produced changes in elemental uptake. Elemental analyses of individual species and existing biomass three years post‐burn from hot, medium, and lightly burned sites and unburned controls showed a significant shift in…
