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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Soil heat penetration and predicted postfire understory regeneration [abstract]

Flinn
Heat penetration into a standard medium (dry and wet sand) as well as black spruce and hardwood soils was examined in the laboratory. Tautochrones for 70-minute dry and moist conditions in sand indicated that temperatures greater than 55C (taken here to be lethal) were recorded…

Effects of temperature and light on the germination of five prairie wildflower species

Kaspar, McWilliams, Grigg
Seeds of five prairie wildflower species, Eustoma grandiflorum, Monarda citriodora, Phlox drummondii, Coreopsis lanceolata, and Gaillardi pulchella, were placed on a thermogradient plate to define the optimum temperatures for germination. Seeds were germinated over a temperature…

Plant population dynamics under varying fire regimes

Bradstock
The effects of variations in fire intensity, frequency, and seasonality on the dynamics of four dry sclerophyll species, Banksia ericifolia, Petrophile fucifolia, B. serrata, Isopogon anemonifolius, are being investigated. These species have canopy-retained seedbanks enclosed in…

The role of fire in the boreal forest of Canada

Kayll
Through a review of literature, the essential role of fire in the boreal forest as a natural regulatory agent of composition and succession is discussed in terms of plants, soils, and animals. In natural, long-term cycles, the incidence of lightning-started fires on a particular…
