Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil degradation, impaired water quality, and reduced soil organic carbon have become major concerns in the management of degraded claypan soils with their associated ecological...
Regeneration of soil microbial, physical, and chemical properties in restored bottomland hardwood forest wetlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
(WRP)] was initiated with the goal of reducing the loss of wetlands and restoring wetlands previously converted to agricultural land use. Despite the importance of preserving and restoring wetlands, the benefits of wetland restoration have not been well...
Coenzyme Q₁₀ content, composition, texture and physiochemical characteristics of pasta fortified with freeze-dried beef heart
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study evaluated the feasibility of fortifying fresh pasta with beef heart, a beef by-product high in coenzyme Q₁₀. Incorporating freeze-dried beef heart into pasta significantly increased coenzyme Q₁₀ and protein ...
