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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 degradation is caused by certain types and degrees of soil disturbance resulting from forest harvesting activities. This soil degradation is known to reduce future productivity of trees. The present method of survey to determine the extent and severity of soil disturbance…

Two thinning and fertilization studies, the first in 1969 and the second in 1971, were established to evaluate the question of nutrient limitation to tree growth and the consequences of stand manipulation of soil moisture supply. Fertilizer was applied yearly for the first 5…

This paper reports results of a study designed to examine the control that soil temperature exerts on soil processes associated with nutrient flux, and in turn, on tree nutrition in interior Alaska black spruce ecosystems. Approximately 50 m2 of forest floor in a 140-year-old…

Earlier studies in Alaska and northwest Canada have shown inconsistent evidence for the expected northward extension of the Arctic tree line during the Hypsithermal Interval. Only megafossil evidence has supported this suggestion; the palynological findings have been…

Major vegetational, environmental, and peat accumulation patterns were studied in the forest-bog complex of southeast Alaska. Attention was directed to three levels of vegetational pattern: (1) the community type level, with forest, bog, and intermediate types being recognized…

This paper offers some insights into the field approach to conducting experimental forest fires based on two decades of experience dealing with a wide variety of fuel types, burning conditions, and resultant fire behavior. The practical aspects involved in designing a study area…

Research data and literature are sparse on fire in the taiga and subartic zones, especially regarding effects of fire on soil and water relations and on associated resource management considerations. In the scattered existing work, there is disagreement regarding effects of fire…

In preparing for this symposium, discussion inevitably turned to the many facets of wildfire in the subarctic which should be considered - material, philosophical, economic. Is fire detrimental to the environment? 'Are the practices which you employ in controlling wildfires (…

Of various factors which might limit barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) populations, destruction of range by fire is one. Fire, caused by lightning or man, generally affects only the caribou's winter range in the taiga or northern regions of the boreal…

In a south-facing subbasin of Caribou-Poker Creek Research Watershed near Fairbanks, several mature white spruce stringers, apparent relics of extensive stands that have escaped fires, were studied. Tree-ring investigations show that the mature spruce stringers have remained…

Findings from a study of fire effects on the aquatic environment lead to the conclusion that the fire had fewer deleterious effects than did activities from fighting the fire -- improper siting of 'cat' lines as an example. These findings were important in decisions by land…

[Annotation copied from Lynham et al. 2002(https://www.frames.gov/rcs/18000/18093.html)]The primeval conifer forests of North America, with their associated deciduous components, were largely fire-dependent ecosystems. Fire was a key environmental factor in controlling…
