From the text... "Conclusions: Our preliminary results regarding O. pinorum and S. seelyi response to fire are inadequate to provide management recommendation. However, the result of this study indicate that C. fasciculatum is a fire-intolerant...
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.
Four centuries of land use history were compared to fire regime characteristics along a use-intensity gradient. Changes in intensity and type of utilization varied directly with changes in fire regime characteristics near population centers, while...
A computerized fire weather model coupled with a synoptic model is a powerful means of describing the weather part of the fire environment.
We present a method in which fundamental knowledge of natural ecosystem dynamics of the southern boreal forest may be used as a basis for a new silvicultural approach aimed at maintaining biodiversity and long-term ecosystem productivity under...
A number of nondestructive techniques for analyzing the timing, frequency, and magnitude of natural disturbances in forest stands are discussed in this paper. Intensive age determination of trees is desirable for reconstructing forest disturbance...

(1) The pattern of post-fire vegetation development in Picea mariana (black spruce)-Pleurozium forests in south-eastern Labrador, Canada, is evaluated using palaeoecological methods and vegetation analysis of extant stands.(2) Macrofossil analysis of...
Reconstructions of climate in the Holocene rely heavily on palaeoclimatic indicators such as altitudinal and latitudinal treeline movements inferred from direct (macrofossil) or indirect (pollen) evidence of sites distant from modern treelines. It is...
