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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 effects of variations in fire intensity, frequency, and seasonality on the dynamics of four dry sclerophyll species, Banksia ericifolia, Petrophile fucifolia, B. serrata, Isopogon anemonifolius, are being investigated. These species have canopy-retained seedbanks enclosed in…

A study of 59 sites in the Central Yukon showed no strong correlation between plant community and time since burning, the post-fire seral communities being both site and fire-specific. Fire intervals were 33, 69, 57 and 62 years in the South Ogilvie, North Ogilvie, Eagle Plains…

Observational evidence form nine crown fires suggests that horizontal roll vortices are a major mechanism in crown-fire spread. Post-burn aerial photography indicates that unburned tree-crown streets are common with crown fire. Investigation of the understory of these crown…

From the text ... 'Knowledge of fire behavior is critical for those who control wildfires. Fire managers must know spread rates and intensity--not just to eventually contain and extinguish the fire but also to keep their fire control personnel safe. Managers realize that weather…

The fire history of two adjacent regions of the boreal forest, one characterized by logging (Ontario -- 510,000 ha) and the other by small scale agricultural activities (Quebec -- 140,000 ha), was studied before and after these regions were opened up to settlement in 1916. From…

From the Text (p.13) ... 'At the conclusion of our survey of the ways in which human intelligence calls art to its aid in counterfeiting nature, we cannot but marvel at the fact that fire is necessary for almost every operation. It takes the sands of the Earth and melts them,…

Picea abies, which is predominantly sexual, has been reported to propagate vagetatively through layering in a cold harsh climate, although this has not been demonstrated genetically. Using 105 amplified fragment length polymorphism markers, we analyzed 117 trees of Norway spruce…
