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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Cattail (Typha spp.) management

Apfelbaum
Cattails generally occur as scattered sterile plants in high-quality natural areas. Disruptions of hydrology, wildfire suppression, or system enrichment may favor cattail growth. System disruption is often followed by the growth of dense monocultures of cattails that may reduce…
