We characterized historical fire regimes in order to understand their influence on forest structure in dry mixed-conifer forests in the southern interior of British Columbia. In the unroaded Stein River watershed, we sampled fire scarred trees (163)...
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Relatively frequent surface fires recurred for centuries in ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests of the Southwest before intensive live stock grazing and active fire suppression by government agencies began. The available evidence suggests that...

Historic fire regimes are widely advocated as guides for the reintroduction of natural fire processes into North American wildlands. However, the fire history of most sites is unknown. Current fire regime constructs provide generalized information for...

The Forest Service has always relied on its regional fire managers to assess the potential severity of the forthcoming fire season, and the ability of the local organization to respond under the expected conditions. Among the factors considered were...

Little is known about spatial and temporal variability in fire frequencies at landscape scales (1,000s to I 00,000s of ha), or about the factors that determine the spatial patterns of fir., frequency at these scales. Historical archives of wildfire...

Two very different vegetation types characterize the deserts of North America. Shrublands are typical of the Great Basin, Mojave, and Sonoran deserts. Perennial grasslands are most prevalent in the Chihuahuan Desert. Historically, fires were generally...

The unknowns in fire phenomenology lead to simplified empirical approachs to build models designed to predict the initiation and spread of crown fires. This information is needed to support decision making in a large array of fire management problems....
