Quantifying bottomland hardwood forest and agricultural grassland evapotranspiration in floodplain reaches of a mid Missouri stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
) and Agricultural Grassland (AG) were instrumented with microclimate stations and WY 2012 ET was estimated six out of seven methods of ET calculation show higher rates of ET in BHF than AG, within the Hinkson Creek Floodplain. Widely applied methods of ET...
The long-term impacts of forest removal on floodplain subsurface hydrology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
and piezometers equipped with pressure transducers to monitor shallow groundwater (SGW) temperature and level were installed in a gridded study design within a historic agricultural field (Ag) and a remnant bottomland hardwood forest (BHF). Groundwater...
Measuring and modeling suspended sediment and nutrient yields in a mixed-land use watershed of the central United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
inorganic nitrogen and total phosphorus yields exceeded 10.3 and 2.04 kg ha-1 yr -1 from the agricultural dominated headwaters. Multiple linear regression analyses indicated significant (CI = 0.05) relationships between pollutant loading, annual total...
Quantifying stream bank erosion and deposition rates in a central U.S. urban watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
reach of the Hinkson Creek Watershed located in Boone County, Missouri, USA. Streambank erosion and deposition rates were quantified using the erosion pin method comparing a remnant Bottomland Hardwood Forest (BHF) streambank to an Agricultural (Ag...
The Land Capability Potential Index: a decision support tool for the management of Missouri River floodplain habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
management of floodplain vegetation. Relationships between naturally-occurring floodplain vegetation and LCPI classes in a post-agricultural setting were quantified using existing plot data and vegetation community maps. Multivariate analyses indicate...
Quantifying suspended sediment loading in a mid-Missouri urban watershed using laser particle diffraction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
/water-quality stations were installed in a nested-scale watershed study design to capture differing land-use type influences on SSC. Mean SSCs were estimated to be 66.0, 70.0, and 86.0 [mu]l/l for the headwater (agricultural), suburban (mixed land-use), and urban sub...
Macroinvertebrate assemblage composition along a longitudinal multiple-land-use gradient in a midwestern stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Land use changes often alter hydrogeomorphology and hydrologic flow regimes, which can adversely impact stream aquatic biota. Hinkson Creek Watershed (HCW, 231km2) located in Boone County, central Missouri, is comprised of 50% agriculture, 26...
A multi-configuration evaluation of the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) in a mixed land use watershed in the central U.S.A.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Distributed watershed hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) models are ubiquitous tools for watershed management. Despite advancements, there remain impediments for end-users. This study presents a practical framework for use ...
Quantifying riparian canopy energy attenuation and stream temperature using an energy balance approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Forested riparian buffers play an important role in modulating stream water quality, including temperature. Few studies have quantified the relationship between stream temperature and canopy cover in the climatologically ...
