Using black spruce (Picea mariana)-Kalmia angustifolia dominated communities of eastern Canada we tested the hypothesis that habitat filter pre-empts biotic filter as a community structuring force in early post-fire succession leading to Kalmia...
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

2-Amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2A-DNT) is a metabolite of the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) which is present in the soil at numerous U.S. Army installations as the result of TNT manufacture or training activities. Although many avian species are...

Using anomalies calculated from General Circulation Model (GCM) climate predictions we developed scenarios of future fire weather, fuel moisture and fire occurrence and used these as the inputs to a fire growth and suppression simulation model for the...

The observed long-term decrease in the regional fire activity of Eastern Canada results in excessive accumulation of organic layer on the forest floor of coniferous forests, which may affect climate-growth relationships in canopy trees. To test this...

The effect of wildfire on ecosystem function is gaining interest since climate change is expected to increase fire frequency and intensity in many forest systems. Fire alters the nutritional status of forest ecosystems, affecting ecosystem function and...

Question: In the boreal forest of eastern Canada, how does forest vegetation change in the sustained absence of fire?Location: Eastern boreal forest in Quebec's North Shore region, Canada (49º30'-50º00'N; 67º30'-68º35'W)....

Large amounts (389 ± A 39 m3 ha-1) of preserved dead wood buried by bryophytes were found in the organic layer (OL) of overmature (146- to 204-year-old) black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) forests in the high-boreal forest of eastern Canada....

We investigated the responses of endoparasites in red-backed voles (Myodes gapperi) to fire in a boreal forest ecosystem. Because fire affects the environmental conditions and biodiversity of the forest ecosystem, the life cycle of parasites may also...
