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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Survey of plant succession on the 1980 Blair Lakes Burn, Alaska

Simpson, Shields
This report, prepared for land management agencies, details observations on burn severity, animal utilization, and early plant succession on a fire which burned 250,000 acres in the Tanana Flats in 1980.

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…

Laboratory measurements of carbonyl sulfide [sulfide] and total sulfur emissions from burning of forest biomass [abstract]

Ward, McMahon, Adams
The information presented is directed to environmental scientists and resource managers concerned with sulfur emissions from combustion processes. Atmospheric chemists believe these emissions accumulate in the stratosphere and affect the earth's radiation balance. Some of these…

Forest fire history in the central Yukon

Johnson, Strang
A study of 59 sites in the Central Yukon showed no strong correlation between plant community and time since burning, the post-fire seral communities being both site and fire-specific. Fire intervals were 33, 69, 57 and 62 years in the South Ogilvie, North Ogilvie, Eagle Plains…
