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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text ... 'LANDFIRE can give more precise predictions than previous fire-behavior models did, allowing land managers to let beneficial fires burn, Shlisky says.The database has been tested in the northern Rockies and in central Utah; now it will expand nationwide. As…

Riparian communities (those near open water) have often been shown to display high structural and compositional diversity and they have been identified as potentially serving a keystone role in the landscape. Thus, they are the focus of specific management guidelines that…

We revised distribution maps of potential presettlement habitat and current populations for Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and Gunnison Sage- Grouse (C. minimus) in North America. The revised map of potential presettlement habitat included some areas omitted…

A structured expert-judgement elicitation technique was used to develop probability distributions for fireline production rates for Ontario's three- and four-person initial-attack crews for seven common fuel types and two distinct levels of fire intensity (i.e., low, 500 kW/m;…

Biomass burning constitutes a major contribution to global emissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, greenhouse gases and aerosols. Furthermore, biomass burning has an impact on health, transport, the environment and land use. Vegetation fires are certainly not…

Fire management, and forest and rangeland fuels management, over the past century have altered the wildland fire situation dramatically, thus also altering the institutional approach to how to deal with the changing landscape. Also, climate change, extended drought, increased…

Management strategies for recovery of red-cockaded woodpecker populations: a metapopulation proposal
Historically, red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) populations occupied pinelands throughout the southeastern United States. Because of the landscape effects of topography and basin drainages, the historic distribution of suitable pine habitat was relatively disjunct. In…

There are few aspects of wildland fire that attract the public and media attention as does fire in the wildland-urban interface. A relatively new phenomenon in the United States, these fires now burn or damage hundreds of homes each year from Florida to Alaska. While there is a…

Landscape patterns in the northwestern United States are mostly shaped by the interaction of fire and succession, and conversely, vegetation patterns influence fire dynamics and plant colonization processes. Historical landscape pattern dynamics can be used by resource managers…

Climate change could increase fire weather severity in the western portion of Canada's boreal forest. In this study, we evaluate how climate change could affect future landscape-level fire behavior potential. The study area extends over 135,000 km2 and covers the entire southern…

Rate of spread is a key fire behavior characteristic. Spread rate is thought to accelerate after ignition to an equilibrium value, then vary over the burning period due to variation in wind speed and direction, and fuel conditions. Using data from gridded thermocouples, we…
