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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on the NASA Terra satellite has been used to monitor aerosol optical thickness (AOT, ?) daily at 10km+10km resolution worldwide since August 2000. This information, together with the locations of active fires…

The interior of Alaska is a vast area characterized by cold soils which are often underlain by permafrost; a continental climate with great extremes in temperature; and the taiga, a pattern of boreal forest and tundra which is largely the result of past wildfires (Viereck, 1973…

A 5-year (1984-88) study of fire costs and acreages burned under fire plans in Alaska was conducted by the Bureau of Land Management. Effects of classification and management of suppression areas as critical protection, full protection, modified action, and limited action are…

Temperature and precipitation data from weather stations in Alaska and western Canada were analyzed via universal kriging to estimate mean annual and mean growing season temperature and mean annual and mean growing season precipitation values on a 10 km grid in Alaska. These…

The 234 genera and 2,735 species reported from the lichen flora of the continental United States and Canada are listed, and a systematic synopsis of the genera by the 47 families recognized is given. New combinations are made in the genera Agrestia, Cladina, Dimelaena, and…

Wildlife diversity and abundance are directly tied to the ever changing nature of the boreal forest. Wildland fire and fluvial action have been primarily responsible for maintaining diversity and productivity. However, there is an increasing need to protect people, human…

Composition, structure, and diversity of vascular and nonvascular plant communities was compared 3 years after wildfire and clear-cutting in mesic trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) forests of the southern Canadian boreal forest. We examined mean response to disturbance and…

It is suggested that the melanism found in the arctic ground squirrel is due to the darker individuals being favored when burnt-over areas are invaded.

Impact of forest conversion to agriculture on carbon and nitrogen mineralization in subarctic Alaska
Land-use change is likely to be a major component of global change at high latitudes, potentially causing significant alterations in soil C and N cycling. We addressed the biogeochemical impacts of land-use change in fully replicated black spruce forests and agricultural fields…

Fire layers in peat columns from bogs, and carbon layers in soil trenches on dry ground were used to analyse the pattern of occurrence of fires in natural spruce [Picea abies] and pine [Pinus sylvestris] boreal forests of Karelia during the last 3000-6000 years. Results of the…

Soils in two adjacent forest stands in interior Alaska, one birch (Betula papyrifera) and the other black spruce (Picea mariana), were sampled in 2-cm increments to a depth of 50 cm. The soils had developed from the same parent material and were similar in slope and aspect. The…

Synthesis of the literature suggests that physical, chemical, and biological elements of a watershed interact with long-term climate to influence fire regime, and that these factors, in concordance with the postfire vegetation mosaic, combine with local-scale weather to govern…

In North America, Eurasia, and Australia, salvage logging is increasingly being used to mitigate economic losses due to fire, although the effects of this type of intervention are still essentially unknown. In a field experiment in a large recent boreal forest fire in central…

We examined the relationship between the post-fire regeneration density of Populus tremuloides Michx., Pinus banksiana Lamb., and Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP and their pre-fire basal area density at the spatial scale of 70 m (the width of the stands studied) in four fires in…

In this review, we focus on the biotic parameters that are crucial to an understanding of the recruitment dynamics of North American boreal tree species following natural (fire, budworm infestation, windthrow) or human-induced (clearcut, partial cut) disturbances. The parameters…

The effects of potential climatic warming on the relaxation (ability to return to the initial intact state after disturbance) of boreal pine (Pinus sylvestris) communities was studied by comparing the recovery of the forest floor after fire in 2 geographically different regions…

Boreal and subarctic peatlands comprise a carbon pool of 455 Pg that has accumulated during the postglacial period at an average net rate of 0.096 Pg/yr (1 Pg = 1015g). Using Clymo's (1984) model, the current rate is estimated at 0.076 Pg/yr. Longterm drainage of these peatlands…

In Alaska, an outbreak of spruce beetles (Dendroctonus rufipennis) recently infested over one million hectares of spruce (Picea spp.) forest. As a result, land management agencies have applied different treatments to infested forests to minimize fire hazard and economic loss…
