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)

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 ...
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...
