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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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...'The unrestricted burning of vegetation appears to be a universal culture trait among historic primitive peoples and therefore was probably employed by our remote ancestors. Archeology indicates that extensive areas of the Old and New Worlds were being burned…

[from the text] Transitions from one sort of vegetation to another-tension zones they have been called-are places of unusual interest to botanists. For along these lines, if they be in fact under tension from the struggles of diverse plants for ascendency, are afforded our best…

Liebig's Law of Minimum may be phrased as follows (see Chapman, ;31, p. 107): When a multiplicity of factors is present and only one is near the limits of toleration, this one factor will be the controlling one. The importance of extremes in environmental influences apparently…
