  • APEX simulation : environmental benefits of agroforestry buffers on corn-soybean watersheds 

    Senaviratne, Anomaa; Udawatta, Ranjith P.; Baffaut, Claire; Anderson, Stephen H.; Jose, Shibu (2013)
    The Agricultural Policy Environmental Extender (APEX) model has the ability to simulate the effects of vegetative filter strips on runoff and pollutant loadings from agricultural watersheds. The objectives of this study ...
  • Assessing impacts and targeting of agricultural conservation practices 

    O'Donnell, Thomas Kevin, 1978- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture initiated the Conservation Effects Assessment Project in 2003 to quantify water quality and wildlife benefits of conservation programs funded by the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment ...
  • Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils 

    Mudgal, Ashish, 1980- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    Water and soil are two key elements for life on this planet, and improving and preserving their quality are of prime importance. Various human actions including use of intensive chemicals in agriculture have accelerated ...
  • Environmental Implications of Increased Bioenergy Production on Midwest Soil Landscapes [abstract] 

    Kitchen, Newell R.; Sudduth, Kenneth A., 1958-; Sadler, Edward John; Kremer, R. J. (Robert J.); Baffaut, Claire (2009)
    Prairie soil landscapes encompass over 16 million acres in Missouri and surrounding states. Much of this area has been degraded by erosion but is still used for grain production. Erosion has caused variable topsoil depth ...
