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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the text...'On July 1, 1992, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Forest Service, Intermountain Research Station entered into a cooperative agreement (FWS Ref. No. 14-48-0009-92-962 DCN: 98210-2-3927) to conduct a study on 'Heat Transfer into the Duff and Organic…

Alternative solutions to the loss of production potential and to the increasing rural poverty engendered by many slash-and-burn systems require major shifts in the evolution toward greater sustainability. Slash-and-burn practices are the starting point for several evolutionary…

From the text ... 'The severe drought in 1982-1983 in south-east Asia caused wildfires in large areas of Borneo (Malingreau et al. 1985, Riswan & Yusuf 1986). In Sabah, Beaman et al. (1985) estimated that about 1 million ha of forest burned. Woods (1989) found that tree…

Vegetational changes were measured after 27 prescribed burns and 3 wildfires which occurred from 1982 to 1995 on buffelgrass pastures highly infested with brush in Sonora, Mexico. Densities of most undesirable brush species were reduced from 40 to 60% with fire. When prescribed…

Studies to determine the feasibility of using prescribed fire to prevent fire in the forests of northwestern Chihuahua were initiated in 1982 at an experimental level. These studies have resulted in valuable information on the importance of prescribed fire in protecting and, at…

Fires can produce a wide range of changes in nutrient cycles of forest, shrub, and grassland ecosystems depending on fire severity, fire frequency, vegetation, and climate. These changes can be beneficial when fires increase the availability of plant nutrients, and deleterious…

Studies of shifting cultivation and other slash-and-burn systems over the past 30 years have basically confirmed the conceptual model of carbon and nutrient cycling put forth by Nye and Greenland. The model stresses that soil biological processes should not be viewed in…

Tropical forest felling can be for the purpose of traditional shifting cultivation, after which forest is re-established, or for permanent land-use change, which is defined as deforestation. Recent decades have seen a dramatic increase in tropical deforestation caused by slash-…

Temporal changes in community organization were examined in a 300+ year chronosequence of understorey vegetation data from lodgepole pine forests recovering from fire in central British Columbia. Changes between six age-classes of forest were quantified as shifts in the…

We examined short-term (decadal) and long-term (millenial) processes of peat accumulation, and the links between them, in a Sphagnum bog in continental Canada. A previously published model of bog growth was fitted to age profiles of the oxic acrotelm (surface, <60 cm thick)…
