Investigations of the forage nutritive value of common weeds encountered in Missouri pastures and their relationships with soil fertility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
During the 2015, 2016, and 2017 growing seasons, a survey of 63 pastures in Missouri was conducted to determine the effects of selected soil and forage parameters on the density of common annual, biennial, and perennial weed species. Permanent...
Three essays on decision-making in contexts of change and uncertainty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
. This essay synthesizes some of the main contributions from various subfields and proposes a typology (i.e., a systematic classification of related concepts) to organize knowledge in this arena, as well as to guide future research and review efforts...

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...
Reflectance sensors to predict mid-season nitrogen need of cotton
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for cotton production; consequently there is a tendency to over-apply nitrogen. High N causes excessive vegetative growth and delayed crop maturity, which result in increased cost in ...
