This report summarizes monitoring data collected annually by our Forest Health Protection team and some of our key partners. It is intended to provide technical assistance and information to stakeholders on the forest conditions of Alaska. The report also helps to fulfill a congressional mandate (The Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978, as amended) that requires survey, monitoring, and annual reporting of the health of the forests. This report also provides information used in the annual Forest Insect and Disease Conditions in the United States report. Forestry technicians, conservation specialists, scientists, arborists, tree wardens, natural resource planners, and others involved in forest and wildlife protection would be interested in this report. Students pursuing coursework in natural resources management and forestry may also be interested in this primary source document.

Even before the myth of Prometheus, fire played a crucial ecological role around the world. Numerous plant communities depend on fire to generate species diversity in both time and space. Without fire such ecosystems would become sterile monocultures. Recent efforts to prohibit fire in fire dependent communities have contributed to more intense and more damaging fires. For these reasons, foresters, ecologists, land managers, geographers, and environmental scientists are interested in the behavior and ecological effects of fires. This book will be the first to focus on the chemistry and physics of fire as it relates to the ways in which fire behaves and the impacts it has on ecosystem function. Leading international contributors have been recruited by the editors to prepare a didactic text/reference that will appeal to both advanced students and practicing professionals.
