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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A portable propane-fueled fire simulator

Greene, Shilling, Compton
[First paragraph] Prescribed fire is coming to be recognized as a quantitative factor in natural-resource research, but our inability to control environmental and fire-related variables in natural fires has been a major impediment to interpreting research data. To help remove…

Effect of ground fires on the biochemical composition of the berries of representatives of the Ericacese

Mironov
Berries of Vaccinium vitis-idaea, V. oxycoccus, V. uliginosum and V. myrtillosum were harvested on areas burned by a ground fire 8 yr previously (in one case 3 yr previously). Data are tabulated on DM content, total sugars, acidity (citric acid), total pectins, ascorbic acid,…

Response of a Typha marsh community to draining, flooding, and seasonal burning

Mallik, Wein
A Typha marsh community was subjected to draining and seasonal burning treatments to control the growth of emergent aquatics. Treatments resulted in an increase in total number of species after 3 years. Cover and frequency of Aster novi-belgii, Lycopus uniflorus, Epilobium…

Heat tolerance of rhizomes of several understory species

Flinn, Pringle
Rhizomes of eight understory species were subjected to treatments of 45, 50, 55 and 60 degrees for 5 min in a water bath. Selecton of thesespecies for study was based on differences in the depth of the rhizomes, in habitat, and in rhizome morphology. Samples were collected from…

Summary and analysis of Porcupine River fire study, 1951-1961

Chesemore
In 1951 and 1954, vegetation study plots and observations on wildlife reactions to the forest fire of 1950 along the upper Porcupine River, Alaska, were begun by members on the Alaska Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit. Periodically, the study areas were visited and data on…

Recreation and fire management: public concerns, attitudes, and perceptions

Taylor, Cortner, Gardner, Daniel, Zwolinski, Carpenter
Data from three separate but related surveys address the linkages between recreation and public perception of attitudes toward fire management. Recreation ranks high among alternative forest resource uses and is a serious concern vis-a-vis fire effects. Public acceptance of new…

Prescribed burning white spruce slash in interior Alaska

Zasada, Norum
Broadcast burning following harvesting of flood plain sites in Alaska substantially decreased residual organic material and increased exposed mineral soil. Two forest types were studied: white spruce/alder/feathermoss and white spruce/alder/lingenberry/feathermoss. The latter…

Environmental and successional relationships of the forest communities of the Porcupine River drainage, interior Alaska

Yarie
The structure and function of taiga ecosystems over a 3,600,000 ha area of northeastern interior Alaska was shown to be consistent with a hypothesis relating vegetative structure and dynamics to site nutrient status and soil temperature. Ordination of modal community…

Biomass and productivity of white spruce stands in interior Alaska

Yarie, Van Cleve
A total of 58 trees was sampled from eight stands across a large area of interior Alaska. Regression equations were developed to estimate standing aboveground biomass for 22 white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) stands. Aboveground standing biomass of white spruce in mature…
