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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From preface: 'Since the 1950s, the body of literature on fire behavior has been growing in journals of engineering, geophysics, meteorology, etc. Foresters and ecologists have not used much of this literature on the physical aspects of fire behavior to understand fire effects…

It is almost dogma that the boreal forest in North America is a fire dependent forest, yet ecologists often do not consider in any technical detail how forests fires produce effects on individual plants and on plant populations. Consequently, the casual connection between the…

Wildland fire involves both chemical and physical processes. When wildland fuel burns, its stored chemical energy is converted to thermal energy or heat through complex chemical reactions. But for the reactions to be started, heat must be physically transferred from a firebrand…
