Response of natural and artificial pin oak reproduction to mid- and understory removal in a bottomland hardwood forest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
bottomland forest sites in southeastern Missouri. The mid- and understory removal treatment increased the amount of photosynthetically active radiation reaching the understory from 3 percent of full sunlight to 16 percent of full sunlight. This increase...
Soil testing in Missouri : a guide for conducting soil tests in Missouri (2012)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2012)
Soil testing is a process or a group of processes used to estimate the ability of a soil to supply plant nutrients or support plant growth. Soil test results enable evaluation of the fertility status of soil represented ...

Roadway effects on the hydrologic regime of temporary wetlands in the Missouri River floodplain in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
on the hydrologic regime of temporary wetland basins within the agricultural landscape of the Missouri River floodplain from Hartsburg to Independence, Missouri. This study is part of a larger existing research project designed by the Missouri Department...
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.
Power in the garden : exploring the lives of Missouri farm women and their vegetable gardens during the Great Depression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Today, when fresh, canned, and frozen vegetables are plentiful and taken for granted, the home vegetable garden is regarded as something between a hobby and a luxury. But in the Great Depression of the 1930s, the household ...
A multi-scale investigation of ecologically relevant effects of agricultural runoff on amphibians
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Modification of landscapes for agricultural production can introduce agrochemicals into surface waters and degrade aquatic habitats used by many amphibians for breeding and larval development. Although many ecotoxicological studies have shown...
Prehispanic agriculture and climate on the Pacific slope of Guatemala
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The relationship between agriculture and social complexity is a complicated one through both time and space; this is no less true in prehispanic Mesoamerica. Human occupation of the Pacific Coast of Gualtemala prior to Spanish contact was affected...
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...
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...

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...
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...

Waterproof dress : an exploration of development and design from 1880 through 1895
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Waterproof dress had an important role in the late nineteenth century. Heretofore little research has been done to examine the development and design of this apparel sector. The three types of waterproofing techniques used ...
Land cover classification from satellite imagery, and its applications in cellular network planning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] To further increase the classification accuracies, radar image processing techniques were investigated to preprocess the Radarsat data before classification. Eight processing...
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.
Forging a national diet : beef and the political economy of plenty in postwar America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Few foods items are more associated with the United States than beef yet it was not until the 1950s that Americans ate more beef than any other meat. The triumph of mass beef consumption was not accidental or a preordained ...
