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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This manual documents the procedures for estimating the rate of forward spread, intensity, flame length, and size of fires burning in forests and rangelands. It contains instructions for obtaining fuel and weather data, calculating fire behavior, and interpreting the results for…

Spring fires were conducted in Symphoricarpos occidentalis Hook. stands to determine the effect of fire on the shrub and associated species. The canopy cover of Symphoricarpos had recovered to the level of unburned stands 3 months after fire. Stem density increased three to five…

Four units totaling 1 hectare in area were burned during the summer of 1976 in the Washington Creek experimental fire site near Fairbanks, Alaska. Original vegetation on the site consisted of an unevenly spaced stand of black spruce approximately 70 years old, with an understory…

Yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britt.) can be successfully regenerated by using suitable seedbed preparation techniques, including prescribed fire. Experimental fall burning of tolerant hardwood stands prior to harvesting under a group selection prescription resulted in a…

The motion of a strong line thermal in an unstratified atmosphere is modeled to estimate a bound for its capability to life firebrand particles. It is found that the maximum height of a viable firebrand is roughly proportional to the square root of thermal strength. The…

An increase in the use of prescribed fire as a forest management tool is anticipated in Ontario where its use is viewed as a viable method of site preparation for regeneration purposes. Literature available on prescribed burning in the jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) logging…

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…

Seventeen experimental burns on various sandy clear-cut sites in southeastern Manitoba were broadcast seeded with jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) at a rate of 1.24 kg/ha to determine the specific treatment combinations that would produce acceptable regeneration. After two…

Factors for adjusting wind velocities from the 20-foot standard anemometer height down to an average wildfire midflame height (3.5 ft. for the fuels studied) are given for exposed, partially sheltered, and sheltered fuels in Alaska. The values are suitable for predicting…
