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...
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...

Situated within the Maya Mountains of Central America, the Mountain Pine Ridge (MPR) ecosystem encompasses approximately 76,000ha (107,000 acres) within the country of Belize. Dominated by Caribbean pine (Pinus caribaea), ...
An ecological study of American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) in the Missouri Ozark Highlands: effects of herbivory and harvest, ecological characterization and wild simulated cultivation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Matrix population analysis was used to analyze eight years of demographic data from six American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) populations in east-central Missouri to examine effects of herbivory by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimm...
Modeling the financial impact of management decisions on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) production

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 ...
Site preparation for longleaf pine restoration on hydric sites : stand development and ground flora responses 15 years after planting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
control treatments (chopping or herbicide) with three soil manipulation treatments (flat [no treatment], mounding, or bedding), and an herbicide-chopping-bedding treatment. Our objectives were to determine the long-term impacts of site preparation...
