A demonstration package of predictive models for assessing the risk of forest damage from wind, fire and snow has been produced which can be accessed via the World Wide Web (WWW). The paper describes how this demonstration provides a common point of...
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Acceptance of calculation procedures for determining fire endurance ratings for wood beams and columns has permitted the use of large wood members in applications where firerated structural members are required. As a result, the potential market for...

Wildfires in steep forest environments can often produce disasterous runoff and soil loss after rainstorms. There is often needle cast from partially burnt conifer trees that generally falls to the soil surface within several months after the fire....

Many U. S. forests, especially those with historically short-interval, low- to moderate-severity fire regimes, are too dense and have excessive quantities of fuels. Widespread treatments are needed to restore ecological integrity and reduce the high...

To document possible soil nitrogen mosaics before timber harvesting on three boreal forest sites in Alaska, maps of the distribution of understory green (Alnus crispa (Alt.) Pursh) and Sitka alder (A. sitchensis (Reg.) Rydb.) stems were made....

As resource managers, we all have the problem of too much information and not enough time to read and assimilate it. We sometimes make decisions with inadequate knowledge because we don't have time to find pertinent information or think that it...

Vegetation plot data suggests that bluejoint reed grass is becoming less vigorous twenty years after initial spruce beetle outbreak. Lack of spruce in-growth in burned plots suggests that the fire destroyed most regenerating trees. Minimal numbers of...
