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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Summary of climatic data for the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest, interior Alaska

Barney, Berglund
A summary of climatic data during the 1968-71 growing seasons is presented for the subarctic Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest located near Fairbanks, Alaska. Data were obtained from three weather station sites at elevations of 1,650, 1,150, and 550 feet from May until September…

Wildfires and thunderstorms on Alaska's north slopes

Barney, Comiskey
Existing records show that five wildfires burned more than 1,600 hectares of tundra on Alaska's Arctic Slope. Environmental conditions suitable for lightning, ignition, and burning occur more often than previously recognized at this northern latitude.

A new vegetation map of the western Seward Peninsula, Alaska, based on ERTS-1 imagery

Anderson, Belon
A reconstituted, simulated color-infrared ERTS-1 image covering the western Seward Peninsula was prepared and it is used for identifying and mapping vegetation types by direct visual examination. The image, NASA ERTS E-1009-22095, was obtained approximately at 1110 hours, 165…

Prescribed fire effects on physical and hydrologic properties of mixed-conifer forest floor and soils

Agee
Following a prescribed fire, structural effects were measured over a 4-year postfire period. Initial tree mortality was concentrated in small diameter and height classes of Abies concolor (Gord. And Glend) Lindl., Pinus lambertiana Dougl., and Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Most…

Importance of nonbrowse foods to moose on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

LeResche, Davis
Food intake of 3 tame moose (Alces alces) was observed on the Kenai Peninsula during summer on a normal range and during winter and spring on a normal and a depleted range. Plant species and bite sizes were recorded for 49 308 bites consumed. Food eaten varied between summer and…

Past climate of Alaska and northwestern Canada as reconstructed from tree rings

Blasing, Fritts
Spatial anomaly patterns of sea-level pressures over North America, the North Pacific, and eastern Asia in the 20th century can be statistically calibrated with spatial anomaly pattern of tree growth in semi-arid western North America. Growth anomalies prior to 1900 were…

Prescribed burning in Norway: effects on soil and regeneration

Braathe
The effects of prescribed burning on organic matter, soil nutrients, pH, and spruce and pine establishment, growth and N content were studied. Burning had a beneficial effect on Calluna areas, where a thick raw humus layer occurs, but was not generally beneficial on Myrtillus…

Vegetative and geologic mapping of the western Seward Peninsula, Alaska, based on ERTS-1 imagery

Anderson, Shapiro, Belon
ERTS-1 scene 1009-22095 (Western Seward Peninsula, Alaska) has been studied, partly as a training exercise, to evaluate whether direct visual examination of individual and custom color-composite prints can provide new information on the vegetation and geology of this relatively…

Black spruce fuel weights and biomass in two Interior Alaska stands

Barney, Van Cleve
This study reports the fuel weight and biomass distribution in a 51-year-old lowland and 55-year-old upland black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) stand in interior Alaska. Biomass distribution is shown for overstory, stand and down dead tree components, herbaceous…

Nutrient ion losses in streamflow after fire and fertilization in eastern Washington [abstract]

Tiedemann, Helvey
During the 2 years after a severe wildfire, concentration of nitrate-N increased from pre-fire levels of 0.015 ppm to 0.56 ppm on a burned, unfertilized watershed and to 0.54 ppm and 1.47 ppm on watersheds that were burned and fertilized with 54 kg/ha of N as ammonium sulfate…
