Mechanized agriculture : machine adoption, farm size, and labor displacement
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2015)
Mechanization in such countries as the United States and Canada has dramatically reshaped the agricultural landscape since the time of early settlement. The introduction of new technologies -- such as the mechanical tomato harvester, grain combines...
ENSO and PDO related variability in seasonal range prediction for the Bolivian Altiplano region in South America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This study uses the methodology of some experiences in seasonal range prediction related to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) in North America. Previous studies (e.g Garreaud and Aceituno 2001; Vuille...
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 ...

Resource selection and space use of the critically endangered Tuamotu Kingfisher (Todiramphus gambieri)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
I investigated the ecological requirements of the critically endangered Tuamotu Kingfisher (Todiramphus gambieri), with the intent to provide management recommendations that could help prevent its extinction. The species ...
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...
Publications, University of Missouri Extension, 2017-05
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2017)
Catalog of CDs, software, videos and hardcopy publications of the University of Missouri Extension Office....
Development of Aerial-Ground Sensing Network: Architecture, Sensor Activation, and Spatial Path-Energy Optimization
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
The advent of autonomous navigation, positioning, and in general robotics
technologies has enabled the maturity of small to miniature-sized unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs; or colloquially called drones) and their wide ...
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 ...
Bed degradation of the lower Missouri River
(2013-06-04)
The phenomenon of bed degradation can be due to a multiplicity of causes, but ultimately reflects a change in either the sediment input or sediment transport capacity of a system. Causes for the accelerated rate of degradation of the lower Missouri...

(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...
Fuel management considerations in Caribbean pine forests of the mountain pine ridge of Belize, Central America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
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), ...

More than a river: using nature for reform in the progressive era
(2013)
how progressives looked to nature as a tool of social reform. Each of these men understood the American environment in multiple contexts. Nostalgia and romanticized Missouri River history activated themes of empire, race, and manhood in Neihardt’s work...
Neutron scattering and microscopy studies of the structure and dynamics of water near a nanostructured hydrophilic copper oxide surface
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
. The significantly altered structure and dynamics of the interfacial water could affect the boundary conditions for bulk water motion inside of an OHP during its operation. To test this hypothesis, we have proposed time-resolved neutron imaging experiments...
