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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Ips infestation-Bonanza Creek Experiment Forest

Holsten
The present infestation is believed to have developed from a combination of factors: 1) large amounts of breeding material resulting from the Rosie Creek Fire and broken tops originating from heavy snowfalls in the 1984-85 winter, and 2) abnormally low snowfall in 1985-86 and…
