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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 srpuce-fir forest of the Alberta foothills are often characterized by deep organic matter accumulations on the soil surface and cold soil tempertatures, both of which make reforestation difficult and result in a general deterioration in site productivity. Prescribed burning…

'...Thus the use of fire in mature red and white pine stands has been demonstrated to have definite potential for the control of balsam fir and the establishment of white pine regeneration, whether the management objective is purely commercial or also involves recreational and…

There are many uses for prescribed burning in the management of forests, chaparral, grasslands, watersheds, and wildlife. Some of these uses have been pointed out in this paper. There are also many dangers in using fire, both in its application and in its results. To minimize…

[from the text] As we walked onto the beach at Bandon, Oregon that evening in late August 1933, we beheld to the north a tremendous wall of yellow smoke, thousands of feet high. It extended out over the ocean, seemingly to infinity, and slightly to the right of the setting sun.…

Both the landforms and the vegetation of the earth develop to states that are maintained in dynamic equilibrium. Short-term equilibrium of a hillslope or river valley results from intersection between erosional and depositional tendencies, controlled by gravitational force and…

Earth hummocks occur on vast areas of perennially frozen mineral soils in the western Canadian subarctic regions. Different vegetation grows on different parts of the hummocks. The tops of the hummocks are vegetated by plants that have no roots (lichens, mosses) or by short-…

Describes the use of the Franklin wheeled skidder instead of crawler tractors to construct firelines (to reduce damage to the soil in the tundra). The basic skidder was equipped with 2000-gal tanks to carry fire retardant, and a spreader bar to lay the retardant or water. A…

Extensive stands of the boreal forest of Canada in the late successional stages provide a suitable habitat for some birds and for caribou but are unsuitable for many other species. Deer, moose, beaver, ruffed grouse and many other birds and mammals require the greater amounts of…

Recent surveys in the Canadian subarctic have shown the wide distribution of cryogenic earth-hummock soils with permafrost. A study of chemical, physical, mineralogical and micromorphological features revealed quite acidic, partially unsaturated surface horizons, large amounts…

This review covers 41 studies of moose food habits, including 13 from the intermountain west, 6 from Alaska, and 22 from Canada, Minnesota, Isle Royale, and Maine. Only nine of these studies include information on summer food habits, only four on year-long food habits and only…

Trend studies of browse ranges employ permanent plots or permanently-tagged stems. Changes in browse yield and use may be accurately estimated using a relatively small sample if successive measurements are taken on the same stems. The survey method decribed here combines the…

The purpose of this paper is to indicate that lightning has a pervading influence on all trophic levels in the biological community, and that it affects the physical environment as well.
