Stand structure development effects on wood quality of Melina (Gmelina arborea roxb.)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A stem analysis was perform to examines the effects of thinning treatments on Melina (Gmelina arborea) wood quality and tree architecture in the North Coast of Colombia. 27 plots under forest management regimes and age ...
Restoring forest composition and structure of riparian corridors in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
bottomland agricultural fields. These afforestation practices most often consist of planting bare-root tree seedlings of a select number of hardmast species and managing vegetation with a number of pre- and postemergent herbicides, or planting a perennial...
Assessing the capacity for collaborative ecosystem stewardship on private forestland in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Missouri's forestland totals nearly 15 million acres and a vast majority of this area, roughly 82 percent, is controlled by more than 300 thousand nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owners. Consequently, meaningful long-term stewardship...
Using attitutudes and motivations to segment the landowner audience: a typology of family forest owners in the Missouri Ozarks and description of management and information behaviors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
With 74% of Missouri's forestland controlled by family forest owners, understanding this ownership group is important to ensuring the sustainable management of the state's forests. Audience segmentation techniques can help us to understand...
Simulating cottonwood tree growth in flood plains using the LIGNUM modeling method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
simulation model, was applied to simulation of the cottonwood growth in a flood plain area in central Missouri. The key characteristics of the LIGNUM model are the linkage between tree spatial structure and physiological function. L-system was adopted...
Woody species and forest structure in northern Missouri riparian forests with different ages and watershed sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
A chronosequence (1 to 250+ years) of 160 woody species plots was established throughout northern Missouri riparian forests to explain the influence of site hydrology and stand age on species distribution and forest structure. Stand age was found...
