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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fine root production and turnover were studied in hardwood and coniferous taiga forests using three methods. (1) Using soil cores, fine root production ranged from 1574 ± 76 kg x ha^-1 x year^-1 in the upland white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss)...
Changes in foliar chemistry resulting from changes in forest-floor and mineral-soil moisture availability, forest-floor microbial energy supply, and nitrogen availability were investigated across the successional sequences in both upland and floodplain...

State factor controls of soil and forest development were examined in floodplain primary and upland secondary successional ecosystems along the Tanana River in interior Alaska. Topography is the principal difference in state factor control of structure...
This study shows that extensive forest inventory data can be used to evaluate selected spruce bark beetle infestation dynamics. Trends in the amount of area that has been infested and is currently undergoing infestation can be estimated. Trends in size...
