Related Publications

The "Fire Regimes of the Alaskan Boreal Forest" literature review and synthesis focuses on publications that describe the fire regime of the Alaskan boreal forest. Considerable effort was spent to include work that falls outside of peer-reviewed literature databases, such as government reports and graduate thesis work. The literature review covers more than 350 references; some of the publications are individually summarized because they directly address fire history in the boreal forest of Alaska. Publications with individual summaries are listed below.
