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...
Quantifying riparian canopy energy attenuation and stream temperature using an energy balance approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Forested riparian buffers play an important role in modulating stream water quality, including temperature. Few studies have quantified the relationship between stream temperature and canopy cover in the climatologically ...
Macroinvertebrate assemblage composition along a longitudinal multiple-land-use gradient in a midwestern stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
to rural reaches (116.6 mg/L and 51.5 mg/L respectively). Mean suspended sediment particle size decreased with stream length (P < 0.05) from 108.2[mu]m to 66.6[mu]m. Results indicate that the influence of disturbance regimes associated with local...
A multi-configuration evaluation of the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) in a mixed land use watershed in the central U.S.A.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Distributed watershed hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) models are ubiquitous tools for watershed management. Despite advancements, there remain impediments for end-users. This study presents a practical framework for use ...
