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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

2014 is an EPA National Emission Inventory (NEI) Year. The NEI is a national inventory of air pollutants, emitted from all sources. EPA compiles a NEI every three years from information submitted by State/Local/Tribal (SLT) agencies. Prescribed fire, wildfire and crop residue…

In this study, we focus on clarifying the contribution of wildfire on N dry deposition in a boreal forest of interior Alaska, by applying CASTNET data and multiple regression analysis against climate data. Here we set two working hypothesis: 1) Long-range transportation, rain…

Fires in the tundra can drastically alter vegetation and ecosystem characteristics. Drs. Hollingsworth and Breen (from the U.S. Forest Service and University of Alaska-Fairbanks, respectively) review the effects of climate on fire regime and wildfire in Alaska. They compare fire…

This seminar is part of the USFS Missoula Fire Lab Seminar Series.
Bioenergy production from forest biomass offers a solution to reduce wildfire hazard fuel levels, decrease insect and disease outbreaks, and reduce the incidence of invasive species while producing a useful…

Economic studies have demonstrated that agricultural landowners could mitigate significant quantities of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through afforestation. The associated carbon, however, must remain stored in soils or biomass for several decades to achieve substantial…

Warming in northern high latitudes has changed the energy balance between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. This study evaluated changes in regional surface energy exchange in Alaska from 2000 to 2011 when substantial declines in spring snow cover due to spring warming…

The 20th century was a pivotal period at high northern latitudes as it marked the onset of rapid climatic warming brought on by major anthropogenic changes in global atmospheric composition. In parallel, Arctic sea ice extent has been decreasing over the period of available…

Corresponding with the increasing global resource demand, harvesting now affects millions of hectares of boreal forest each year, and yet our understanding of harvesting impacts on boreal carbon (C) dynamics relative to wildfire remains unclear. We provide a direct comparison of…

Forest fires are an important disturbance in the boreal forest. They are influenced by climate, weather, topography, vegetation, surface deposits and human activities. In return, forest fires affect the climate through emission of gases and aerosols, and changes in surface…

A large pool of organic carbon (C) has been accumulating in the Arctic for thousands of years because cold and waterlogged conditions have protected soil organic material from microbial decomposition. As the climate warms, this vast and frozen C pool is at risk of being thawed,…
