From the text (p.250) ... 'In addition to the materials reviewed by Williams in chapter 7, there are several ecological data sets that suggest aboriginal burning once accounted for most fires in the West, as well as in eastern forests. Brown et al...
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.
Charcoal records were examined from seven sediment cores and two stratigraphic sections on southern vancouver Island, Canada. charcoal influx and climate trend regressions were established using high order polynomial functions. During the late-glacial...
In this study we use historical relationships between weather, the Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) System components and ecozone area burned in Canada on a monthly basis in tandem with output from GCMs from the Canadian Climate Centre and the United...
Analysis of Ontario's historical records from 1941-1996 showed that spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) caused whole tree mortality within 389 x 103 km2. This amounted to 9.2% of the annually cumulative area with moderate-severe...
Lightning is thought to represent an important source of tropospheric reactive nitrogen species NOx (NO + NO2), but estimates of global production of NOx by lightning vary considerably. We evaluate the production of NOx by lightning using a global...
