The Aleutian Islands are treeless except for some plantations of Spruce on Unalaska. Their principal vegetation types are meadow and heath-shrub communities. In some places thickets of Willow (Salix barclayi) are interspersed with the subalpine meadows...
Alaska Reference Database
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Four stages of thermal degradation of peat are distinguished in the southern taiga subzone of western Siberia; the stages are determined by the types of fires and their intensity. Fire strongly affects compaction of peat, which leads to a significant...

Species richness did not change on burned plots but declined 24% on the non-burned plots. Compositional changes resulted in changed vegetation types for about one half of both the burned and not-burned plots. It appears that regeneration requirements (...

The effects of two large experimental crude oil spills conducted in the winter and summer 1976 in a permafrost-underlain black spruce forest of interior Alaska were assessed 15 years after the spills. Effects on permafrost, as determined from...
