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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Electrical fire: a natural history of lightning fire

Pyne
From the text... 'Fused inorganic tubes caused by lightning strokes to the ground, called fulgurites, are abundant in many portions of the earth. Ample evidence of fossil fires, called fusain, lies buried in the coal beds of all the coal-forming periods known to geology. For…

The effects of slash burning on ecosystem nutrients during the land preparation phase of shifting cultivation

Giardina, Sanford, Døckersmith, Jaramillo
The most commonly observed change in soil following slash-and-burn clearing of tropical forest is a short-term increase in nutrient availability. Studies of shifting cultivation commonly cite the incorporation of nutrient-rich ash from consumed aboveground biomass into soil as…

A comparison of organic layer consumption between fires of Canada and Alaska [abstract]

Manies, Harden, Wickland
Boreal forests contain a significant portion of the world's terrestrial carbon in their surface organics and soil horizons. Fire, the main disturbance in these forests, plays an important role in regulating the flow of carbon in these landscapes. To better understand the effects…

Effects of fuel treatments, post-fire rehabilitation treatments and wildfire on establishment of invasive species

Hunter, Omi, Martinson, Chong, Kalkhan, Stohlgren
Establishment and spread of invasive species following wildfires can pose threats to long-term native plant recovery. Disturbance severity and propagule pressure may influence the likelihood that invasives will establish in burned areas. In this study we examine the…

Wildfire effects on stream food webs and nutrient dynamics in Glacier National Park, USA

Spencer, Gabel, Hauer
We documented immediate and mid-term (5 years) impacts on streams from a large (15,500 ha) wildfire in northwestern Montana. Fire-related impacts were ecosystem-wide, extending from water chemistry to fish. During the initial firestorm, phosphorus and nitrogen levels increased 5…

Prescribed fire-induced changes in properties of sub-boreal forest soils

Arocena, Opio
Pile and windrow burning of logging slash are important silvicultural practices in sub-boreal forests, yet, little is known about their effects on soil properties. We investigated the physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties of soils collected 2 years after prescribed…
