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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Insects are the most diverse group of terrestrial animals. Not surprisingly, they influence several ecosystem processes and thus have a profound influence in most terrestrial ecosystems by occupying a myriad o f niches. The reciprocal interaction of insects with forest plants…

Changes in the global carbon (C) cycle caused by human activities have focused the attention of environmental scientists on where and how C is distributed through the terrestrial biosphere. Forests are the largest land reservoir for C (e.g., see Kellomäki and Karjalainen,…

Siberian forests are shaped by complex interactions of climate, forest fires, insect outbreaks, and humans. Unravelling the linkages and mechanisms of these interactions will require long temporal and large spatial-scale perspectives. A full account of the past input of Siberian…

From introduction: 'The boreal forest biome is a classic fire-dependent ecosystem, capable, during periods of extreme fire weather, of sustaining the large, high-intensity wildfires responsible for its existence. The natural fire cycle in the North American boreal forest…

Burned-forest area type classification is an integral part of dynamic forest-type classification. Fire influences on forest structure and post-fire stand transformations are directly related to fire parameters and stand characteristics. Burned areas themselves are remarkable for…
