A bibliography dealing with the subject of wildland fire history was first published in December 1979 by the second author of this paper (Alexander 1979). A supplement to the original bibliography was included in the proceedings of the Fire History...
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.
Two lines of Japanese quail (AR2.5 and AR3) selected for resistance to aflatoxin and a nonselected control line (NS) were fed diets containing 0, 10, and 20 µg of aflatoxin/g of feed. Line-related reductions in mortality and growth inhibition clearly...
Rate of fire spread and flame length were observed on six prescribed headfires in the sagebrush (Artemisia)/bunchgrass vegetation type in western North America. Spread rate and flame length predictions from the fire behavior prediction system BEHAVE...
The grass genus Aristida in the southeastern United States is reviewed. Twenty species are present in the region, all indigenous to the area. New combinations proposed are Aristida purpurescens Poir. var. tenuispica (Hitchc.) Allred and var. virgata (...
Publisher Summary: Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important component of temperate stream and forest ecosystems. This chapter reviews the rates at which CWD is added and removed from ecosystems, the biomass found in streams and forests, and many...
Improved official equations are presented for the 1984 version of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System. The most recent mathematical refinements serve to further rationalize the Fine Fuel Moisture Code and render it more compatible with other...
From the Foreword: 'The tables presented here contain forest fire statistics for the calendar years 1978 and 1979 as reported by all Canadian forest fire control agencies. This publication reestablishes an annual series formerly entitled '...
Results and analysis of an experimental burning study on the fire behavior in boreal mixedwood slash in the northern Ontario's Clay Belt Region are presented. Horizontal discontinuity in this fuel type makes fire spread difficult when the fire...
From the Research Summary: 'Remote Automatic Weather Stations (FAWS) have been developed and are now operational across the nation in a variety of geographical areas. RAWS acquire, process, store, and transmit accumulative precipitation, wind-...
Fire experiments were conducted in small scale compartment models under a forced or natural ventilation. Four liquid fuels of methanol, ethanol, n-hexane and benzene, which are considered to represent thermal decomposition products of polymers, were...
