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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Introduction...'Fire and climate are closely linked (Swetnam 1993). According to simulations of various general circulation models (GCMs), the earth's climate will be 1-3.5º C warmer by the end of the next century due to increasing atmospheric concentrations of radiatively…

Mimicking of natural disturbance for ecosystem management requires an understanding of the disturbance processes and the resulting landscape patterns. Since fire is the major disturbance in the boreal forest, three widely held beliefs about fire behavior and resulting landscape…

Forest Service expenditures for fire presuppression and suppression activities increased from $61 million in FY 1970 to $951 million in FY 1994. Yet, real (net of inflation) expenditures have not increased significantly since FY 1970, if FY 1994 expenditures are excluded. During…

The allocation of resources to dispersal and reproduction in relation to habitat persistence was investigated in three closely related buprestid beetles Melanophila acuminata, Phaneops cyanea and P. formaneki. Their respective breeding habitats are recently burned forest, forest…

The adult phenology of the fire-adapted Melanophila acuminata was more extended than of five related buprestid species. This was caused by a within-brood, or less probably, a between-brood variation in development time in M. acuminata, which was also more variable in adult body…

The morphology of two types of paired deep depressions situated on the ventral side of the pterothorax of Henoticus serratus (Col., Cryptophagidae) were described. The shape of the depressions and surrounding setae indicate that they function as mycangia and that the legs are…

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 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…

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…
