To reconcile observations of decomposition rates, carbon inventories, and net primary production (NPP), we estimated long-term averages for C exchange in boreal forests near Thompson, Manitoba. Soil drainage as defined by water table, moss cover, and...
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

We measured total Hg and stable isotopes (d13C and d15N) in northern pike (Esox lucius) from 19 Boreal Shield lakes with undisturbed, logged, or burned watersheds. Average Hg level in standard 560-mm northern pike, on a dry weight basis, was...

A forest is a system, which intercepts solar energy under the control of climatic, weather and edaphic factors and the genetic properties of trees and other organisms occupying forest habitats. The interlinks among these organisms are dynamic, and this...

A science-based ecosystem management approach requires valid reference points to assess the long-term maintenance of forest systems. Historical range of variability (HRV) in vegetation patterns has served as the initial reference point and has support...

Our study objective was to develop a better understanding of the ecological significance of unburned forest remnants in successional sub-boreal landscapes created by fire. We characterized remnant forest patches and compared them to matrix forest in...

In the boreal mixed forest, stand composition generally changes from deciduous to mixed to coniferous stands during post-disturbance succession. Our objective was to determine the influence of forest composition on the quality of soil nitrogen and...

Climate change affects forests both directly and indirectly through disturbances. Disturbances are a natural and integral part of forest ecosystems, and climate change can alter these natural interactions. When disturbances exceed their natural range...

We used a combination of surveys of natural vegetation and seed-sowing and seedling transplant experiments to determine the relative importance of competition and microenvironmental modification as mechanisms by which understory vegetation influences...

Many effects of forest management on northern soil environments are characteristic of other latitudes, as well. Nutrient removals in harvested timber are substantial, and on some sites this may influence not only the amount but also the balance of...

There is a paucity of data concerning the effects of wildfires on large carnivores. During summer 1988 a wildfire burned 845 km2 of taiga forest within the territory of two radiocollared Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) packs in northwest Alaska. We...
