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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Charcoal records were examined from seven sediment cores and two stratigraphic sections on southern vancouver Island, Canada. charcoal influx and climate trend regressions were established using high order polynomial functions. During the late-glacial (ca. 13,000-10,000 ybp),…

Pollen and charcoal from East Sooke Fen, Pixie Lake, and Whyac Lake were used to reconstruct the post-glacial vegetation, climate, and fire-disturbance history across a precipitation gradient on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. An open Pinus woodland covered the…

Water supports, defines, and integrates the biological and physical worlds around us and in turn, the biological and physical worlds change water. The forested landscape serves as a critical linkage in the water cycle and it is a landscape that is intensely manipulated by humans…

We documented patterns of species extirpation, shifts in species dominance, and rates of recolonization of litter-layer arthropod species following a catastrophic forest fire. The study site was located along the Rio Grande within the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge,…

Geological processes such as erosion and sedimentation redistribute toxic pollutants introduced to the landscape by mining, agriculture, weapons development, and other human activities. A significant portion of these contaminants is insoluble, adsorbing to soils and sediments…

Major Results: 1) The presence of YPS (sodium ferrocyanide) increased the toxicity of fire retardants. 2) Ultraviolet radiation increased the toxicity of fire retardants containing YPS. 3) Toxic cyanide concentrations were observed during stream tests. 4) Toxicity of fire…

Boreal forests contain large amounts of stored soil carbon and are susceptible to periodic disturbance by wildfire. This study evaluates the relationship between post-fire changes in soil temperature, moisture, and CO2 exchange in paired burned and control stands of three…

Black carbon (BC) may be a major component of riverine carbon exported to the ocean, but its flux from large rivers is unknown. Furthermore, the global distribution of BC between natural and anthropogenic sources remains uncertain. We have determined BC concentrations in…

Hydrologic studies have been conducted in the Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed (CPCRW) since 1969 primarily directed at improving our understanding of basic hydrological processes in an area underlain by discontinuous permafrost. Recently research has focused upon the…
