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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Mapping the immediate and prolonged impacts of, and adaptations to, fire in the Kenai River fishery

Smith
1. Problem Statement Climate change is impacting the climate-related biophysical dynamics of fisheries. For example, researchers have documented shifts in annual stream runoff throughout the western United States associated with warmer air temperature. In addition, current…

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Wood Shreds on Post-Fire Erosion

Robichaud, Foltz, Showers
The increased size and severity of wildland fires require increasingly effective BAER treatments. A commonly used BAER treatment is mulching, the spreading of agricultural straw by hand or from the air using a helicopter. While widely used and fairly reasonably effective at…

A Decision Support System for Assessing the Impact of Fire Managment on Threatened and Endangered Species

Reeves
We propose development of a new methodology that can be used by forest and fire managers and planners to consider the potential effects of all aspects of fire management (i.e., fuels reduction to post-fire restoration) on native stream fishes and their habitats. State-of-the-art…

Quantifying Charcoal Deposition in Lake Sediment Following the 2005 King County Creek Fire, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska

Sediment traps deployed in lakes within burned (4) and unburned (1) watersheds were set out to quantify charcoal deposition at the bottom of each lake. Burned lakes are all within the 2005 King County Creek fire, and the unburned lake is located to the north of the fire. The…

Applied Wildland Fire Research in Support of Project Level Hazardous Fuels Planning

McCaffrey, Graham
The Applied Wildland Fire Research in Support of Project Level Hazardous Fuels Planning Project was initiated as a pilot project by the U.S. Forest Service in response to the need for tools and information useful for planning site-specific fuel (vegetation) treatment projects.…
