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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The effective use of modeling techniques in the study of free-burning fires requires more knowledge of the essential scaling laws than has hitherto been available. These laws are developed for a stationary area or 'mass' fire by the methods of dimensional analysis. If fires are…

This publication describes many grasses, grasslike plants, forbs, and shrubs that inhabit longleaf pine-bluestem range. The species vary widely in importance; most produce forage palatable to cattle, some are noxious weeds, and others are valuable indicators of trends in range…

A computer program based on Dusinberre's finite difference method was written to predict the diurnal temperature variations in tree trunk. The program accounts for solar radiation, thermal radiation, re-radiation and forced convection. The trunk is heterogeneous and anisotropic…

Bromegrass seed fields are often directly combined and the remaining growth harvested as hay. It is of interest to determine the effects of this stubble removal on subsequent seed crops. Information on burning of stubble as it affects seed yields would help in the settlement of…

There are four major questions affecting the future of ecological restoration. The first and most serious question is philosophical. Should we attempt to restore ecosystems? Some people want to separate humans from nature because they believe that human intervention is bad or…

This conference brought together scientists and managers from federal, state, and local agencies, along with private-sector interests, to examine key concepts involving sustainable ecological systems, and ways in which to apply these concepts to ecosystem management. Session…

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of leaf smothering upon establishment of white spruce in Alaska. Treatment consisted of protecting seed-spots from leaf litter of an overstory paper birch stand with hardware cloth screens for varying periods. Protection…

Fossil pollen data, as illustrated by isopoll and isochrone maps, document the complex late Quaternary history of tundra and boreal forest development in northcentral Alaska. Major plant taxa behaved independently over time, resulting in substantial differences in the vegetation…

The rheological properties of forest and brush land fire retardant solutions significantly affect their performance during and following aerial discharge and subsequent distribution within the fuel ladder. The degree of dispersion, the integrity of the retardant cloud, the…

The performance of internal combustion engines used in fire fighting equipment can be affected by the fireground ambient conditions. Both gasoline (SI) and diesel (CI) engines can suffer significant power losses due to high temperatures and reduced oxygen in the intake air…

A state-dependent dynamic crown fuel model is proposed. The model is a distance-dependent tree model. The model simulates crown characteristics such as foliage weight, crown base height, crown length and crown closure. The model is based on simplified dimensional growth…

A model for the plume above a line fire in a cross wind is constructed. This problem is shown to reduce to numerically solving a system of 6 coupled ordinary differential equations for given initial conditions that depend upon the fire characteristics. The model is valid above…
