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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Fire growth simulation is the modeling of fire spread and behavior across landscapes with heterogeneous fuels, weather, and topography. FARSITE is a computer program designed to simulate fire growth using existing models of fire behavior found in BEHAVE (Andrews 1986) and in the…

The 1971 Wickersham fire burned 6,313 ha in an open black spruce forest underlain with permafrost and provided an opportunity to study fire effects on the rate and patterns of permafrost recovery. When wildfire burns through a northern black spruce forest there is usually a…

Abstract only...'Practices of wildfire suppression and salvage logging of burned forests have prompted concern among biologists for fire-associated bird species in the northern Rocky Mountains. Therefore, in May 1997, we initiated a five-year study to examine the responses of…

There is currently a poor understanding of the nature and extent of long-distance seed dispersal, largely due to the inherent difficulty of detection. New statistical approaches and molecular markers offer the potential to accurately address this issue. A log-likelihood…
