As the Arctic warms, tundra wildfires are expected to become more frequent and severe. Assessing how the most flammable regions of the tundra respond to burning can inform us about how the rest of the Arctic may be affected by climate change. Here we...
Alaska Reference Database
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.
Landowners across the country are constantly looking for ways to innovate and become more efficient in their everyday practices. Land managers who choose to practice prescribed fire are no different. Landowners know adequate equipment and personnel are...
The destructive potential of wildfires has been exacerbated by climate change, causing their frequencies and intensities to continuously increase globally. Generating fire-resilient landscapes via efficient and calculated fuel-treatment plans is...
The Devonian is known for the earliest dispersal of extensive wildfires, but the spatiotemporal diversification pattern and process have not been studied in detail. We synthesize a total of 65 global wildfire occurrences based on fossil charcoals and...
Wind plays an important role in the built environment. Large outdoor fires in the built environment are no exception. Under strong wind, firebrands fly far, which leads to quick fire spread. In this study, the effect of structure to structure...
Effective strategies to reduce indoor air pollutant concentrations during wildfire smoke events are critically needed. Worldwide, communities in areas prone to wildfires may suffer from annual smoke exposure events lasting from days to weeks. In...
In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane talks with Courtney Schultz (Colorado State University) and Matthew Thompson (US Forest Service) about US Forest Service fire management policies, goal ambiguity, and why change is...
In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Alina Cansler at the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences, University of Washington to share insights on a recent evaluation of the accuracy of post-fire tree...
This videotape production (1987, 18 min) offers an overview of the co-operative experimental burning project being conducted at Big Fish Lake in northcentral Alberta since 1984 by Forestry Canada and the Alberta Forest Service (AFS).
"Mounting the Attack on Wildfire" is a 18-minute video produced in 1987 by the Canadian Forest Service that offers an overview of the co-operative experimental burning project conducted with the Alberta Forest Service at Big Fish Lake in north-central...
