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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

We demonstrate the potential of the C-band ERS SAR to provide a capability for forest mapping with particular regard to forest degradation caused by pollution. ERS SAR images covering the period summer 1993 to summer 1995 for a site around the Severonikel smelter in the Kola…

This state-of-knowledge review about the effects of fire on soils and water can assist land and fire managers with information on the physical, chemical, and biological effects of fire needed to successfully conduct ecosystem management, and effectively inform others about the…

The subject of fire as an ecological factor is an exceedingly broad and complex one. The literature on fire in nature currently numbers hundreds of papers annually and seems to be growing at an exponential rate. It is certainly impossible to compress even a small amount of the…

Plants are assumed to adapt to fire regime. The recurrence intervals and spatial patterns of fires in the boreal forest, plus the ubiquitousness of most plants, render it unlikely that species-wide adaptations to burning regimes of particular sizes, timings, and intensities can…

The total land area of the Russian boreal zone is 1527.6 Mha, including 1143.0 Mha of Forest Fund areas and 735.8 Mha of forested areas. These estimates are based on Forest State Account data (Goscomles SSSR 1990, 1991). Forest Fund areas include forest land and nonforest land.…

Major patterns of plant communities and species distribution are induced by various disturbance regimes operating at a different spatial and temporal scales (Loucks 1970; White 1979; Bormann & Likens 1979b; Delcourt, Delcourt & Webb 1983). The development of temperate…

This chapter discusses the impact of fire on soil carbon (C) pools, recovery after fire, the effects of a fire suppression policy on soil C, methods to estimate C losses from fire, and the implications of fire management on soil C cycling and sequestration.

The concentration of radiatively active gases such as CO2 and CH4 have increased substantially since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Atmospheric CO2 has increased from the preindustrial level of 270 ppm to the current level of 355 ppm, and is expected to double over…

The bryophytes of the boreal forest are interesting in that they may form a minor element of the community in terms of biomass, while simultaneously being a major element in terms of cover and primary productivity. Even more importantly, the mosses may control ecosystem function…
