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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 primary productivity of an ecosystem, as measured by either the rate of gross photosynthesis of the photoautotrophs (called Gross Primary Productivity, GPP) or the rate of net photosynthesis of the autotrophs (as equal to the gross photosynthesis minus respiration, called…

Abies-dominated forests have a relatively low fire hazard when compared with vegetation types dominated by Pinus or Picea species. Although large quantities of fuel are present, the humid climate of Abies-dominated areas reduces the probability of fire. When fires occur after…

In boreal forests, which contain large amounts of the world's terrestrial organic carbon, fire is a natural and fundamental disturbance regime essential in controlling many ecosystem processes. As a result of predicted climate change in the future, the fire regime and,…

The large size, remoteness, and temporal variability in occurrence of wildfires in boreal forest regions make remote sensing techniques well suited for monitoring and studying wildfire. The goal of this paper is two-fold: First, to illustrate how different remote sensing systems…

Changes in the ecology of small-mammal and bird communities during post-fire succession are reviewed for the North American boreal forest and tundra. Data from the literature are summarized systematically, emphasizing comparison of the community properties of small-mammals and…

In the last decade, research has proven that remote sensing can provide very useful support to fire managers. This chapter provides an overview of the types of information remote sensing can provide to the fire community. First, it considers fire management information needs in…

Several years ago the author started to view taiga forests in terms of an energy and nutrient limitation theory, for simplicity, separating taiga forests into two basic units - the plants and the microbes. The fauna was omitted; no doubt they are most important in mineralization…

Fuel treatment effects on the growth and behavior of large wildland fires depend on the spatial arrangements of individual treatment units. Evidence of this is found in burn patterns of wildland fires. During planning stages, fire simulation is most often used to anticipate…

Once smoke enters the atmosphere, its concentration at any one place or time depends on mechanisms of transport and dispersion. By transport, we mean whatever carries a plume vertically or horizontally in the atmosphere. Dispersion simply is the scattering of smoke. Vertical…

Smoke dispersion prediction systems are becoming increasingly valuable tools in smoke management. There are a variety of potential applications that can help current management issues. These include screening, where methods and models are used to develop 'worst-case' scenarios…

Soil physical properties are those characteristics, processes, or reactions of a soil that are caused by physical forces that can be described by, or expressed in, physical terms or equations (Soil Science Society of America 2001). These physical properties (including processes…

Soil is a heterogeneous mixture of mineral particles and organic matter that is found in the uppermost layer of Earth's crust. The soil is formed as a product of the continual interactions among the biotic (faunal and floral), climatic (atmospheric and hydrologic), topographic,…

From introduction: 'Research on fire is often of an applied nature, addressing questions of how to manage landscapes for fire, how to determine fire danger, how to model fire behavior, fire impacts and post-fire succession (Martell 2001; Chuvieco 2003). This in part reflects the…
