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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The physical properties of bark are virtually uninvestigated, and the resulting lack of knowledge has relegated bark to the role of residue. Significant among these properties are thermal characteristics, which are basic to the use of bark as thermal insulation. This paper…

The results of a 9-year rotational burning study on blueberry fields at the Experimental Project Farm, Alliston, Prince Edward Island, indicated that total fruit production was greater from burning every second year than from every third year. Both burning treatments produced…

Seed traps were arranged under a fire-killed 60 year Picea mariana stand immediately after the fire, and seed collections taken at intervals for 60 days. Much seed was released in the first 10 days, but less than half the natural seedfall occurred during the first 60 days.…

Recent activity of Yoho Glacier was determined by botanical and geological dating techniques and from published accounts. Tree growth in four forests adjacent to the end moraine was measured by increment borings of 200 Picea engelmannii. Drawings of increment cores were made in…
