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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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... 'Neglected plantations will never grow to good timber unless the ground is cleared and the trees are cut back--the best means to this end is by fire, which, whilst destroying rough grass weeds and vermin, also puts back a rich dose of potash into the soil.'

A first step in the management of a forest range is to inventory the forage--to determine the kind and amount of plants edible to livestock on various parts of the range. This information is needed to plan the proper number and distribution of animals and the season of grazing.…

Our job of fire control can be done, in fact has been done, in several ways: By brute strength and little attention to the conditions we are attempting to control; by observation of what is happening but with little or no understanding of why the fire is behaving as it does; or…
