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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 Fire and Fuels Extension (FFE) to the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) simulates fuel dynamics and potential fire behaviour over time, in the context of stand development and management. Existing models of fire behavior and fire effects were added to FVS to form this…

Currently, the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) produces a daily Energy Release Component (ERC) index. The ERC index is directly related to the total available energy (BTUs) per unit area (in square feet) within the flaming front at the head of a fire. It essentially…

Smoke from wildland fires is one of the sources of atmospheric anthropogenic aerosols. it can dramatically affect regional and global radiative balance. Ross et al. (1998) estimated a direct radiative forcing of nearly -20 Wm-2 for the 1995 Amazonian smoke season (August and…

Modeling capabilities of the FARSITE fire area simulator have been expanded to include post-frontal combustion and smoke production. FARSITE previously simulated only fire growth, with fire behavior calculations applicable only to the edge of a fire (Finney 1998). FARSITE can…

Moisture in organic forest floor material for boreal ecosystems plays on important role in fire behavior. Therefore, data from in situ moisture sensors were compared with sampled moisture data and weather information to assess moisture dynamics in feather mosses (Hylocomium spp…

The development of more sophisticated fire behavior and effects models has demonstrated the need for a comprehensive system of fuel classification that more accurately captures the structural complexity and geographic diversity of fuelbeds. The Fire and Environmental Research…

Plumes from wildfires and prescribed fires represent a critical aspect of smoke management and air quality assessment, and as such it is important to understand the structure and dynamics of these plumes, both with respect to a basic understanding of the phenomena and with…

Model evaluation should be a component of the model development process, leading to a better understanding of model behavior and an increase in its credibility. In this paper a model evaluation protocol is proposed that encompasses five aspects: 1) model conceptual validity, 2)…

July through September 2002 in Central Russia was characterized by severe fire smoke conditions that led to high concentrations of atmospheric aerosols and gaseous species. A combination of a unique meteorological regime exacerbated the occurrence of the fire events in Moscow…

The BehavePlus fire modeling system is based on a collection of models that describe fire behavior, fire effects, and the fire environment. BehavePlus is the successor to the BEHAVE fire behavior prediction and fuel modeling system (Andrews 1986, Andrews and Chase 1989, Andrews…
