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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Sheppard, Farnsworth
Fire has been a global disturbance agent for thousands of years. As an ecological process that helped shape the floral and faunal communities of western North America, fire also maintained the health and diversity of forest until European settlers arrived. Since presettlement,…

Building on insights provided by Beck (1988), Pyne (1982) and others, the paper views wildland fire as an event revealing a social and scientific field in which basic dilemmas that separate nature and culture, environmental autonomy and human intervention, and the certainty of…

The subalpine vegetation zone is an extensive and important high elevation setting in the western United States. Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is restricted to, and occurs widely in, the subalpine zone. This tree provides a valuable foodsource and shelter for a variety of…

The "bosque” of the Middle Rio Grande is one of the last extensive cottonwood gallery forests in the American Southwest, and yet the future role of cottonwood in these stands is increasingly threatened. Human intervention has progressively changed stand structure, spatial…

A probabilistic model is offered for tracing the fate of vegetation communities in fire-prone lands that are subjected to regular fuel reduction burning. The model is based on the semi-Markov process (an extension of Markov chain modelling). The inputs necessary for the semi-…

The northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), is a northern latitude, forest dwelling raptor. In the Western United States, goshawks live in most forests, including those dominated by western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.ex.Loud.)…

Picabo milkvetch Astragalus oniciformis Barneby is endemic to the sagebrush-steppe of three southern Idaho counties that are susceptible to wildfire. Rehabilitation after wildfire commonly includes seeding with competitive introduced perennial grasses. To determine short-and…

Post-fire rehabilitation efforts following a central Idaho wildfire included aerial seeding four exotic grass species at a rate of 6.2kgha-1. Smooth brome, intermediate wheatgrass, timothy, and orchard-grass constituted the seed mix. Paired seeded and unseeded plots were…

Fire regimes are sets of recurring conditions of fire that characterize given fife-maintained ecosystems. On any given area, a fire regime is also a unique fire history. In biodiversity conservation, one should distinguish between the concept of a "natural” fire regime and a…

We compared survival, weight gain, and mark retention of wing bands (n = 50), passive integrated transponders (PITs) (n = 50), and leg bands proportional to the chicks size (control) (n = 50) on 1-day-old northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) chicks. A repeated measures,…

Mountain quail (Oreortyx pictus) populations have declined throughout the Intermountain Region of the Pacific Northwest. The decline of mountain quail is most likely related to the loss of habitat. We suggest that disturbance may play a critical role in providing the structure,…

Mountain quail (Oreortyx pictus) are among the least studied of the North American quails. The prehistoric and early historic distributions of this bird are uncertain. In the Pacific Northwest, mountain quail were first recorded by Lewis and Clark in 1806 near the Columbia River…
