OnFire Natural Disturbance Research Database
OnFire is an annotated, online database of disturbance research studies relevant to the province of Alberta. It is intended to provide a universal starting point for determining the breadth and depth of pre-industrial coarse-filter knowledge of disturbance patterns for local land use, parks, certification, and forest management planning. The OnFire search tool allows one to locate research results by author, keyword, disturbance type, regime characteristic, and/or geographic area. Published abstracts and succinct interpreted summaries of each study / manuscript are provided. For all published manuscripts and unpublished reports that are otherwise openly available, a link to the full text is provided. For the few documents in the database that are a) not peer-reviewed, and b) not openly available to the public, access to the original documents is restricted.
OnFire includes only those documents for which the Foothills Research Institute (FRI) received explicit permission to include by the respective funding agencies. The database will expand as permission is obtained, and/or new research becomes available.
