Impacts of municipal wastewater effluent on seed banks, chemistry, and microorganisms of soils excavated from wetland impoundments designated for wildlife
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
To evaluate the effects of municipal wastewater effluent (WWE) and Missouri River water (MOR) as irrigation sources on soil chemistry, seed banks, and microorganisms, a field study was conducted in conjunction with a set ...
Classification of air pollution regimes in the Missouri region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
High levels of ground level ozone have been linked to large-scale weather patterns both at the surface and in the upper atmosphere. For this reason, the main focus of this study was to analyze the atmospheric conditions ...
Agroforestry and grass buffers for improving soil hydraulic properties and reducing runoff and sediment losses from grazed pastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Agroforestry buffers, a system of land use in which harvestable trees or shrubs are grown among or around crops or on pastureland, have been proposed for improving water quality in watersheds. The objectives of this study ...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ...
An investigation into the contribution of the low-level jet (LLJ) to the available wind resource in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This work uses data (1 September 2006-31 August 2007) from a network of tall-towers to investigate the impact of the nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) on near-surface winds in Missouri. Of particular interest is the contribution ...
Investigating near-surface wind fields as influenced by low-level jet occurrences in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Renewable energy sources remain a topic of increasing importance in today's society. One possible source is the utilization of wind energy. As such, the objectives of this study were to investigate and classify the character ...
Adsorption of isoxaflutole degradates to hydrous aluminum and iron oxides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Isoxaflutole (IXF) is a pre-emergence herbicide that is rapidly transformed to a more stable and soluble diketonitrile degradate (DKN) after field ...
