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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Reports a study between 1958 and 1963 in four stands of Betula papyrifera, in which seed-fall was sampled with traps constructed from tractor funnels. From the yields of viable seed in this and other studies, it is inferred that seed crops adequate for natural regeneration of…

Reports promising results of trials in 1969-71 on the use of cloud 'seeding' to increase rainfall up-wind of active forest fires [cf. FA 34, 2932]. Of 18 missions flown, 'non-seedable' conditions were observed near the target fire on 6 occasions. Of the other 12 missions, 2…

The development of a mathematical model for predicting rate of fire spread and intensity applicable to a wide range of wildland fuels is presented from the conceptual stage through evaluation and demonstration of results to hypothetical fuel models. The model was developed for…

The quantity and quality of forage produced on Southampton Island, Northwest Territories were studied from 1970 to 1972 in order to evaluate the capability of the range to support barren-ground caribou (Rangifera tarandus groenlandicus). Using aerial photographs (scale 1:60,000…

Discussion of fire-damage appraisal in relation to fire-protection planning shows a need for a standard appraisal system on all federal lands. Fire control costs and damages on an interior Alaska and a northern Minnesota fire are compared; application of both Bureau of Land…

Many parts of interior Alaska have a fire-dominated environment. It has been recognized that there are many beneficial effects of fire; consequently, the past fire control philosophy has been altered. Prescribed and controlled burning are being considered under the new approach…

Field data on soil thermal moisture regimes over a winter season are studied with emphasis on the measurement of soil pore pressures and changes in the soil moisture content. Soil tension measurements in advance of the freezing front were made on two sites, one a burned site and…
