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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Wildland fire behavior case studies and analyses: other examples, methods, reporting standards, and some practical advice [including: Distractions from making fire behavior observations; Suggested outline for preparing a wildland fire behavior case s

Alexander, Thomas
From the text ... 'The most important thing to record is the position of the head fire at various times--the more observations, the better.'

Postfire erosional processes in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain regions

Wondzell, King
The objective of this paper is to provide a general overview of the influence of wildland fires on the erosional processes common to the forested landscapes of the western United States. Wildfire can accelerate erosion rates because vegetation is an important factor controlling…

Recent expansion of jack pine in peatlands of southeastern Quebec: a paleoecological study

Pellerin, Lavoie
Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) colonization and expansion in ombrotrophic peatlands of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, southeastern Quebec, was analyzed using macrofossil and dendrochronological analyses. During the last 80 years, and mainly between 1920 and 1945, several open…

Mercury emissions from burning of biomass from temperate North American forests: laboratory and airborne measurements

Friedli, Radke, Lu, Banic, Leaitch, MacPherson
The emission of mercury from biomass burning was investigated in laboratory experiments and the results confirmed in airborne measurements on a wildfire near Hearst, Ont. Mercury contained in vegetation (live, dead, coniferous, deciduous) was essentially completely released in…

Influence of climate and land use on historical surface fires in pine-oak forests, Sierra Madre Occidental, Mexico

Heyerdahl, Alvarado
From the Conclusion ... 'Our objective was to infer the drivers of temporal variation in fire regiimes in pine-oak forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental in north-central Mexico. We reconstructed a multicentury history (1772-1994) of the occurrence of surface fires from 1469…

The simulation of landscape fire, climate, and ecosystem dynamics

Keane, Finney
From the Conclusion ... 'A comprehensive, mechanistic simulation of wildland fire and ecosystem dynamics across a landscape may not be possible because of computer limitations, inadequate research, inconsistent data, and extensive parameterization. Therefore empirical and…
