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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Review of FRCC and LANDFIRE Fire Regime Mapping methods. Fire Regime Condition Classes (FRCC) Version 2000 underestimated the departure in Range and Shrublands. It is difficult to extrapolate these numbers to the conterminous US. LANDFIRE can provide finer scale data. LANDFIRE's…

Boreal ALFRESCO is a spatially explicit stochastic ecological simulation model. In its current state, it simulates the landscape dynamics unique to sub-arctic and boreal forest vegetation types-under the assumption that climate and disturbance are the primary drivers for…
