Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
may avoid soil degradation as well as improve soil and water quality. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate the effects of different perennial vegetative management systems and soil depth (10- cm depth increments from the surface to the 40...

A test of differential GPS correction methods at Fort Huachuca, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
acquired from an on-site base station showed marked improvement over the use of CORS base data. Accuracy of locally corrected points improved by 75cm and 95cm in two study areas as compared to uncorrected data, while accuracy actually degraded by 28cm and 1...
Fantasy theme divergence during covid-19 a fantasy theme analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
In an era of selective attention, media fragmentation, political polarization, and social media trolls, the communication landscape has never been more fraught with the potential for carefully crafted messages to take on different meanings...
Atrazine transport through a glacial till aquifer in north-central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Although the claypan of North Central Missouri is traditionally believed to protect the groundwater from contamination, low concentrations of the herbicide atrazine have been detected in a shallow glacial till aquifer. The ...
Variability of soil hydraulic properties and estimation of plant-available water on claypan-soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
and landscape position, intact soil core samples (76 by 76 mm) were taken from the 0- to 10-, 10- to 20-, and 20- to 30-cm soil depths. For objective 2, soil profile samples were taken at 18 to 19 locations from each of two close-by fields and PAW capacity...
An economic analysis of the agricultural development potential for Southern Honduras
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
The study was conducted in the Valle and Choluteca Districts of Southern Honduras in 1974. The objectives of the study were (1) to identify input-output relationships for selected crops; (2) determine current and potential ...

The synthesis and characterization of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene imine Schiff base ligand systems for use as potential environmental heavy metal cationic sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Heavy metals in the environment such as Cd, Hg and Pb are toxic to life forms. They can enter the ecological system through both natural and industrial sources. By developing chemical sensors that can detect these metals, ...
Three essays on phosphorus runoff and water quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
efforts to limit both residential and agricultural nonpoint source pollution. The results could be helpful policy makers to target specific regions to initiate environmental policies and extension efforts for designing educational programs to increase...
Forage production and diversification for climate-smart tropical and temperate silvopastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Climate change creates much uncertainty for the future of animal agriculture, particularly due to an increase in summer droughts that result in the loss of range productivity. Silvopasture, the intentional integration of ...

The role of genetic and phenotypic diversity in maize and its effects on aflatoxin accumulation by the fungus Aspergillus flavus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Accumulation of the potent carcinogen, aflatoxin, in maize poses a significant health risk to humans and animals. Most commercially grown maize lines are susceptible to infection by the fungus that synthesizes aflatoxin, ...
Modeling the influence of climate and management practices on water quality in Goodwater Creek experimental watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this study was to determine relationships among weather, runoff, water quality, and best management practice (BMP) implementation in reducing atrazine losses in the 7,250-ha Goodwater Creek Experimental ...
