(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Acacia mangium Willd. is one of the most common tree species in industrial forest plantations in Indonesia. This tree species can grow rapidly in a wide range of soil conditions, and its wood properties are very suitable ...
Factors affecting participation in Indonesian social forestry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Social forestry was designed as a solution for massive deforestation, lack of land access and poverty issues in community dependent forests. The Indonesian Government allocated 12.7 million ha of forest area as community ...
The effects of overstory retention on species composition and height growth following clearcut and group selection regeneration harvests in the Missouri Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The objectives of this study focus on whether treatment and aspect significantly influence tree regeneration. This study utilizes data from 16-year-old clearcuts and group openings within the Missouri Ozarks to assess the ...
The survival and growth of shortleaf pine systems in the Missouri Ozarks : effects of competition, genetics, and site preparation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Establishing shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) across portions of its historical range has proven challenging due to shade intolerance, slow early growth, and poor competitive ability. The objectives of this study were to ...
Evaluation of the fire and fuels extension (FFE) to the forest vegetation simulator (FVS) within the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a stand-based, individual tree growth and yield model designed and maintained by the USDA Forest Service. It ...
Hybrid thermoelectric-ejector refrigeration system /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Progressively, there has been a substantial shift in emphasis with regards to forest governance and management. Forests management policies are directed ...
Effects of regeneration harvests on stand development and oak (Quercus spp.) regeneration through 15 years in bottomland hardwood forests of Northern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Bottomland hardwood forests provide important economic and ecological values within the midwestern United States, yet silvicultural guidelines for reaching management objectives have been poorly developed outside the ...
The ecology of root disease fungi in Missouri forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Root disease fungi have important ecological and economic effects on tree species around the world. A better understanding of their basic ecological significance -- how they modify the growth and development of the tree ...
Establishing pin oak reproduction in bottomland forests in southeastern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In pin oak (Quercus palustris Muenchh.) bottomland forests in southeast Missouri, we revisited clearcuts, shelterwood harvests, and controls within the Mingo Basin. Seventeen years later, we found significant changes, in ...
Timber product value loss due to prescribed fire caused injuries in red oak trees
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Prescribed fire is used for a variety of land management tasks in sites containing merchantable sized red oak trees with sparse information on how it affects lumber product values. We analyzed how fire related injuries ...
Modeling historic, current, and available aboveground forest biomass along the Missouri River corridor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
This research presents the culmination of statistical, landscape, and geospatial analyses that examine the geographic dynamics of aboveground forest biomass (AFB) within the Missouri River corridor, Missouri USA. The ...
Woody biomass availability for energy : a perspective from non-industrial private forest landowners in the U.S. Great Lakes states
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowners control 58% of all forests in the U.S. Great Lakes States consisting of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. A regional assessment of the availability of woody biomass for ...
Urban sprawl in the state of Missouri : current trends, driving forces, and predicted growth on Missouri's natural landscape
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Missouri reflects a full range of sprawl characteristics that include large metropolitan centers, which led growth in 1980s, and smaller metropolitan and rural areas, which led growth in 1990s. In order to study the ...
Site quality factors affecting Acer saccharum, Quercus rubra and Quercus alba abundance and height growth rates in young even-aged stands located in central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Sugar maple importance has been increasing in Missouri's forest for the previous several decades. Managers have little information to guide them with selecting silviculture treatments for managing this increasingly important ...
Social availability of woody biomass for renewable energy : Missouri non-industrial private forest landowners perspective
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The importance of bioenergy, particularly woody biomass, continues to gain significance in Missouri. Although physical estimates of standing wood have been used to assess and project total above-ground woody biomass, these ...
The economic feasibility of an integrated woody biomass harvest in the Missouri Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Questions have risen in recent years regarding the impacts of biomass harvesting for renewable energy production and on the cost and efficiency of biomass harvesting using different harvest equipment configurations. Missouri ...
Juniper expansion in a prairie-forest transition region
