A test of differential GPS correction methods at Fort Huachuca, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in differential correction has previously proven unreliable. The effectiveness of base data acquired through use of a second field unit as an on-site base station was compared with the use of CORS. The accuracy of data differentially corrected using base data...
Roof Gutters for Dairy Barns (2009)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2009)
Roof gutters may be needed with livestock facilities to divert clean water from contaminated lot runoff and minimize the total quantity of waste effluent requiring proper disposal.
Biomass Burning and Its Relationship with Water Cycle Dynamics of the Chari-Logone Catchment of Lake Chad Basin
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
The present study investigates the effect of biomass burning on the water cycle dynamics of the Chari-Logone catchment, which is the primary water source of Lake Chad, in central sub-Saharn Africa, providing approximately ...
Modeling the financial impact of management decisions on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Located primarily in the southeastern United States, Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is a variety of Southern yellow pine that is often planted by non-industrial private landowners seeking a beneficial long-term investment ...
Factors influencing upland oak advance reproduction in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
in the Missouri Ozarks, we used regression models for estimating the advance reproduction density of red oaks, white oaks, and non-oaks. The abundance of red oak advance reproduction was smaller on northeast-facing slopes and inversely related to soil plant...
Development and evaluation of a site stormwater analysis calculator intended for the State of Missouri utilzing regional best management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
impacts for their proposed development and redevelopment scenarios. The calculator utilizes the precipitation data from all weather stations in the State of Missouri reporting data to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA...
Insight into the roles of prescribed fire and hardwood competition in the survival and growth of shortleaf pine throughout its early life
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
pine is competition from hardwoods. In Missouri specifically, many sites formerly occupied by shortleaf pine are now dominated by oak species with established and highly competitive advanced regeneration. Prescribed fire is a tool often used...
Upper White River Watershed Integrated Economic and Environmental Management Project
(Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri-Columbia, 2008-09)
This report outlines enhanced existing local cooperative water quality efforts, sumarizes economic and physical data, and discusses how that information was used to develop analytical models.
Latinos in the Heartland : Latinos and Immigrants in Midwestern Communities : Proceedings of the Ninth Annual Conference Columbia, Missouri, May 24-26, 2010
(Cambio Center, 2011)
When the ninth annual Cambio de Colores conference convened in Columbia, Missouri, in May 24-26, 2010, it did so as a fully-fledged regional effort, as each and every state in the Heartland is experiencing the demographic and socioeconomic changes...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and water quality and given rise to non-point source pollutants. The claypan soil region of Missouri has a high runoff potential that increases the possibility of transport of non-point source pollutants to downstream sites. The Agricultural Policy...
Agroforestry and cover crops for improving surface water and groundwater quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Unsustainable agricultural practices and the rapid expansion of agricultural lands to satisfy the food demand of the growing world population have caused significant sediment, and nutrient losses from agricultural fields, harming the environment...
Uneven-aged management in the Missouri Ozarks: effects of site conditions, stand density, and prior populations on oak regeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
While studies have shown the importance of site characteristics and overstory density on the success of white oak regeneration under uneven-aged management, few studies have analyzed the effects of these variables over time in the Missouri Ozarks...
Fire risk assessment of the western portion of the central hardwoods forest region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study examined how fire risk, a combination of fuels conditions and fire probabilities, varied across a large portion of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. Case studies were conducted to evaluate the fuel loading variability in Missouri Ozark...
Plant community response during establishment of woodland silvopasture in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Disturbance-mediated oak (Quercus spp.) woodlands were formerly a prevalent community type in Missouri, and their restoration is a key objective of land management agencies and conservation organizations. Over one-third of wooded land in Missouri (2...
