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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 fauna of wood-living arthropods was studied during two years of succession after tree death in burned and unburned logs at a burned site, and in unburned logs at a clearing and in a forest. Burned spruce logs hosted fewer beetles than unburned logs. Especially bark beetles,…

Breeding populations of the fire-adapted carabid-beetle A. quadripunctatum were found in most of the fifteen investigated burned, uncut forests, but not in any of the fifteen burned clear-cuts, although a few immigrants were found in two of them. The proportion of open-habitat…

From the text..'Twenty, 62-acre study sites were located within a creosote-tarbush habitat on McGregor Range, Fort Bliss in south central New Mexico. Prescribed fires were applied to 10 of the study sites during June 1995. Reptile and terrestrial arthropod populations will be…

Regenerating oak stands on productive upland sites is widely recognized by foresters as a major problem in hardwood management. Recent research indicates that oak regeneration is more resistant to surface fires than its primary competitors on these sites if burning occurs 3 to 5…

The National Association of State Foresters fully supports the Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy and stands ready to work with our federal partners to implement the recommendations. It is unfortunate, however, that states couldn't have been directly involved in development…

The strategy of managing for 'natural' patterns towards ecological sustainability of forests is currently limited to simple spatial attributes of landscapes. Yet, there is general agreement that landscapes are highly dynamic entities suggesting that temporal patterns may also be…

Goals for vegetation management in wilderness areas have been difficult to define. Short return interval, low-intensity fire regimes offer the most promise for structurally oriented vegetation management goals, although there are some long-return interval or high-intensity fire…

Harvest planners often consider potential fire losses and timber production plans can influence fire management, but most timber harvest planning and fire management planning activities are carried out largely independently of each other. But road construction, timber harvesting…

Forest and agricultural burning release chemical compounds and particulate matter into the atmosphere. Although most of this material contributes to visibility reductions through haze and provides chemical constituents available for reactions with other atmospheric pollutants,…

The forests of interior Alaska are used for a variety of consumptive and nonconsumptive uses. Multiple- or single-use management of these forests requires a working knowledge of how these uses affect the sustained yield or availability of a particular product or use. Many biotic…

The primary environmental variable that appears to regulate the function and, to some extent, the structure of Alaskan taiga ecosystems is soil temperature (Van Cleve et al. 1983, Van Cleve and Dyrness 1983). The structural and functional changes that occur in relation to…

Plant communities in taiga forest ecosystems harbor an array of insects that exploit the vast biomass within these ecosystems. Phytophagous insects with associated parasites, predators, and saprophytes form a discrete insect community. Phytophagous species often differ among…

Residents of Canada and other northern circumpolar countries are concerned with the scenarios of climate change since Global Circulation Models predict that global warming over the next 30-50 years will be most evident in the northern regions (Bolin et at. 1986; Roots 1989;…
