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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Holocene fossil pollen data of fine temporal and spatial resolution were obtained from two small, closed lake basins in southern Ontario, Canada. Forest development is recorded in the pollen sequences, which document the invasion and expansion of tree populations during the…

Most FVS insect and disease model extensions are a blend of process modeling and empirical relationships. Because of the process elements, insect and disease models can present unexpected results when simulated conditions are unlike those tested when the model was developed.…

The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS), coupled with a new key to structural classes, provided an empirical link between the Columbia River Basin SUccessional Model (CRBSUM) and the real world. The essence of CRBSUM is a set of residence times and disturbance probabilities for…

Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) multipliers permit the user to tailor model performances to simulate almost any management scenario. Unfortunately, the intuitively logical choice of multipliers is not always the corrent choice and could result in biologically impossible…
