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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Three ingredients are essential for a wildland fire to start and to burn. First, there must be burnable fuel available. Then enough heat must be applied to the fuel to raise its temperature to the ignition point. And finally, there must be enough air to supply oxygen needed to…

Earlier models of fire plumes based on simple entrainment laws and neglecting dynamic pressure have failed to produce the relatively shallow inflow over the fire perimeter known as fire wind. This inflow is of prime importance in fire modelling as it normally provides much of…

Sections 111 and 112 of the Clean Air Act relative to the control of particulates are evaluated. Section 111 provides the promulgation of standards for hazardous pollutants which reflect the best systems of emission reduction. Section 112 defines national emission standards for…

The advancement of technology relating to particulate emission is pointed out as a significant aspect of this nation's air pollution control efforts. Important factors include the ability of particulates: to cause poor visibility, to constitute a health hazard, to act as…

The model was developed from numerical and analytical solutions of the diffusion forms of the mass continuity equation and the first law of thermodynamics. Analytical solutions provided a functional framework to evaluate nonlinear interactions obtained in the numerical solutions…

Rhizome occurrence and root structure of Vaccinium membranaceum were investigated by hydraulic excavation. Numerous, robust rhizomes were present. Taproots were not observed. V. membranaceum rhizomes sprouted vigorously after a light surface fire killed the shoots. They may be…

Examination of 30 stands in sub-arctic woodlands showed that most were even-aged, having been established after fires. Most fires killed all trees in the stand, but in some instances some trees survived, indicating light fires. The rare occurrence of uneven-aged stands shows…

Alaskan Salicaceae can be subdivided into two groups on the basis of timing of seed dispersal. The early-seeding species include members of the genus Populus and the majority of Salix species. Late-seeding species include seven members of the genus Salix. On tests of five…

During a 4-year period the biomass and mass of selected chemical elements were measured in litter fall from young, intermediate, and mature age classes of quaking aspen and paper birch in interior Alaska. Average annual deposition of biomass and mass of Mg, Fe, and Mn were…

Trend of the Nelchina caribou range was determined from vegetation examinations of 36 ten and fifteen year old exclosures. Condition of climax lichen stands, primarily Cladonia alpestris, began to degenerate with two to three years of use and has declined substantially in the…

Five 7.3m x 7.3m exclosures were constructed on winter range following grazing. All feeding craters within the sites were permanently marked. The exclosures were later examined, disassembled and the crater outlines super-imposed on vegetation maps. The procedure was repeated on…

The quantity and quality of forage produced on Southampton Island, Northwest Territories were studied from 1970 to 1972 in order to evaluate the capability of the range to support barren-ground caribou (Rangifera tarandus groenlandicus). Using aerial photographs (scale 1:60,000…
