Liming in Missouri in the 20th century
(University of Missouri--Columbia, Agricultural Experiment Station, 2003)
research on liming conducted by the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station between 1967 and 1999 and related issues ... Recommended improvements in the recommendation program for agricultural liming materials in Missouri--Page 1....
Lagoon solids removal and solid separation improvement at a dairy farm
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2022)
"Lagoons can be an effective means of treating and storing flushed manure and providing a holding basin for recycling water. A lagoon is a key component to a successful flush dairy. If the lagoon is properly designed and ...
Application of aboveground manure slurry system as additional storage and solid separator
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2023)
Practical and efficient manure management on animal farms is important to ensure smooth operation, provide valuable nutrients to crop production, and minimize the negative impact on environment. However, manure management ...

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...
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.
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...
Impacts of suspended and deposited sediment on benthic invertebrates and fishes in a Missouri Ozark stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Sediment is suspected in the decline of sensitive-aquatic organisms in the Osage River basin of Missouri. In this study, I monitored sediment dynamics and evaluated corresponding linkages with benthic invertebrate and fish assemblages as it related...

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...
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...
Establishing pin oak reproduction in bottomland forests in southeastern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In pin oak (Quercus palustris Muenchh.) bottomland forests in southeast Missouri, we revisited clearcuts, shelterwood harvests, and controls within the Mingo Basin. Seventeen years later, we found significant changes, in both the change in basal...
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.
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...
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...
Effects of light availability and herbivory on planted white oak (Quercus alba) seedlings and acorns
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
light availability caused by dense forest conditions and damage caused by deer herbivory. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of light availability and herbivory on planted white oak seedlings and acorns in Missouri. Data were collected...

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...
What is the impact of livelihood strategies on farmers' climate risk perceptions in the Bolivian highlands?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The Andean Highland region in Bolivia possesses a harsh climate environment that is highly variable. This study combines risk perception literature and livelihood strategy literature to examine climate risk perceptions. ...
Climate and land use effects on hydrologic processes and water allocation in a primarily rain-fed, agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] There is a need to raise our understanding of the impact of climate variability and change on hydrologic processes at the watershed scale. This is important, particularly...
