The relative efficiency of waste diversion strategies in Memorial Stadium at the University of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Recycling and composting are strategies to save landfill space, generate additional revenue, and use fewer natural resources, resulting in an important paradigm shift for waste -- from burden to resource. If the University ...
Measuring and modeling suspended sediment and nutrient yields in a mixed-land use watershed of the central United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Science-based information is needed to better understand mixed-land-use contributions of suspended sediment and nutrient loads to receiving water bodies. Water samples were analyzed for suspended sediments and nutrients ...
An integrated modeling approach for estimating the potential hydrologic impacts of urbanization and climatic changes in Hinkson Creek watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Land-use changes and climatic changes are two of the most significant phenomena impacting water regimes globally. Since ongoing land-use changes in the form urbanization and projected climate changes are expected to have ...
Quantitative trait loci mapping and analysis of adaptive traits in northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Genomic resources are becoming increasingly important in combating the adverse effects of climate change and invasive pathogens on forest species. Efforts to breed a blight-resistant American chestnut are spearheaded by ...
Analyzing "The Paul Finebaum Show" : sport media and representations of the American South
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
The American South has been, historically, a region that is most sharply at odds with the rest of the United States (Grantham, 1994). Stereotypical representations of the South paint the region as backward, racist, ...
Linking waterfowl distribution and abundance to spatial and temporal distribution and abundance of wetland habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Wetlands are dynamic ecosystems providing immense value to wildlife and humans. Wetlands store and purify water, recharge aquifers and reduce extreme flooding events (Acharya 2000). Wetlands also reduce soil erosion, ...
Novel approaches to conserving the viability of regional wildlife populations in response to landscape and climate change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
The proactive actions needed to prevent loss of biodiversity from global change have left managers and biologists looking for approaches that can predict how species and populations will respond to this threat and help ...
