Development of implementation methods of water quality trading policy : using the Hydrological simulation program-Fortran (HSPF)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
-fortran (HSPF) was used to estimate the hydrology and sediment loading throughout the Brush Creek, MO watershed for future land use development scenarios between upstream and downstream locations. Brush Creek does not have a proper monitoring station...
Climate and land use effects on hydrologic processes and water allocation in a primarily rain-fed, agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] There is a need to raise our understanding of the impact of climate variability and change on hydrologic processes at the watershed scale. This is important, particularly...

Evaluating effects of neonicotinoid seed treatments and agroecosystem land management practices on solitary bees in Midwestern agroecosystems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Bees are declining due to multiple factors including habitat loss and non-target exposure to pesticides resulting from agricultural intensification. Solitary bees are often overlooked as important pollinators, but they are valuable contributors...
