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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The main effect burning on water quality is the potential for increased runoff of rainfall. Runoff may carry suspended soil particles, dissolved inorganic nutrients, and other materials into adjacent streams and lakes, reducing water quality and degrading fish habitat (Wade and…

Trend studies of browse ranges employ permanent plots or permanently-tagged stems. Changes in browse yield and use may be accurately estimated using a relatively small sample if successive measurements are taken on the same stems. The survey method decribed here combines the…

Research data and literature are sparse on fire in the taiga and subartic zones, especially regarding effects of fire on soil and water relations and on associated resource management considerations. In the scattered existing work, there is disagreement regarding effects of fire…

Fire, geomorphic processes, and landforms interact to determine natural patterns of ecosystems over landscapes. Fire alters vegetation and soil properties which change soil and sediment movement through watersheds. Landforms affect fire behavior and form firebreaks which…

Historical data for NW Ontario were used to determine relations between catastrophic (stand replacing) fires and landscape diversity in the boreal forest. Results showed that landscape diversity was greatest with intermediate amounts of fire disturbance. Any change of…

A white spruce forest along the Athabasca Valley of Western Alberta was logged in 1956-57 by clearcutting strips 10 x 40 chains with intervening uncut strips measuring 8 x 40 chains. These unlogged strips were clearcut 12 years later. Following logging, all but one strip was…
