Macroinvertebrate assemblage composition along a longitudinal multiple-land-use gradient in a midwestern stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
. Water temperature, suspended sediment, chlorophyll-a, pH, chloride, discharge, physical habitat and benthic macroinvertebrates were monitored at each site. Missouri Biotic Index was higher (P < 0.05) in urban sites (6.77) compared to rural sites (6...
Quantifying riparian canopy energy attenuation and stream temperature using an energy balance approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
zone. Air temperature and relative humidity transect data analysis indicated that riparian microclimate was significantly different ([alpha]=0.01) from the stream edge 25 or 40 meters away for 3 of 4 transects. Average stream discharge was 0.15 m3...
Quantifying suspended sediment loading in a mid-Missouri urban watershed using laser particle diffraction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Midwestern streams and rivers of the United States are known for high suspended sediment concentrations (SSC), which is also one of the leading sources of water impairment. Unfortunately, there is a lack of understanding ...
