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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Effects of burrow collapse on stress and immune responsiveness of gopher tortoises [abstract]

Kahn, Balbach, Guyer, Mendonca, Beauman
The gopher tortoise is federally listed in the western portion of its range, and a species of concern elsewhere. In both populations, the need to relocate animals whose burrows are threatened by development is common. Different practices for relocation have been studied, but…

Human, topographic, and climatic influences on fire regimes in mid and eastern North America [abstract]

Guyette, Stambaugh, Day
Wildland fire regimes vary with human population density, topography, and climate. The significance of these factors is often difficult to understand and identify at short temporal and small spatial scales. Dendrochronological fire histories from Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri,…

Modeling the likelihood of crown fire occurrence in conifer forest stands

Cruz, Alexander, Wakimoto
The unknowns in wildland fire phenomenology lead to a simplified expirical model approach for predicting the onset of crown fires in live coniferous forests on level terrain. Model parameterization is based on a data set (n = 71) generated from conducting outdoor experimental…

A comparison of the xerometer with two other means of estimating fine fuel moisture content: final report

Bell, Van Wagner
In the open, the Xerometer readings bore almost no relation to the fuel moisture content, probably because the element is too well sheltered from the sun. Since it appears to be but marginally better than relative humidity as a measure of moisture content in the shade, we…

Mass fires and fire behavior

Countryman
Mass fires are being investigated through a series of large-scale test fires. Preliminary results indicate: (a) air flow patterns that create eddies can result in fire vortices when fires is present; (b) the lower part of the convection column consists of a series of small…

Cytophysiological and cytoecological investigations of heat resistance of plant cells toward the action of high and low temperature

Alexandrov
Thermostability of plant cells is due to the resistance of their proteins to denaturation, resistance to injurious metabolic changes, reparatory capacity, and capacity to harden. Hardiness includes the stability of several functions and increases the resistance to several…

A comment on models and modelling in fire/fuel management

Alexander
'Modeling is fine as long as you know what you are doing.' General remark made to the author by a retired University of Alberta forestry professor a few years ago. The April 1988 issue of the Journal of Forestry published an article by John J. Garland that I have often handed…
