Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
and environmental challenges. Restoration of degraded soils by the adoption of recommended perennial vegetative management systems can rehabilitate watersheds and lead to enhancing soil health. Sustainable management practices such as trees, grasses, biomass crops...
Northern bobwhite brood ecology and population dynamics in southwest Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
of 80% since 1966. Maintaining healthy populations requires a better understanding of how population growth and vital rates across seasons are affected by habitat and land management practices. We examined bobwhite brood ecology and population dynamics...
Characterization of black walnut (Juglans nigra) cultivars for agroforestry systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
population of 11 cultivars with replicates in New Franklin, MO was measured for understory light infiltration from April-June of 2021. Results showed over a two-fold difference in light infiltration between the most contrasting cultivars during the second...
The assessment of soil enzyme activities in multiple land use in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
ecosystems especially comparing agroforestry practices in peat areas with other land use practices on enzyme activities. The objective of this study was to compare soil quality, particularly focused on soil enzyme activities among four land use systems common...
Forage production and diversification for climate-smart tropical and temperate silvopastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Climate change creates much uncertainty for the future of animal agriculture, particularly due to an increase in summer droughts that result in the loss of range productivity. Silvopasture, the intentional integration of ...
Identification and characterization of health-promoting benefits and bioactive molecules in black walnuts (Juglans nigra l.) and waste materials from agroforestry systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
plant species to North America that adapts to grow on a wide range of cultivation conditions is an ideal tree for agroforestry practices. Black walnut agroforestry systems provide landowners the opportunity to develop a solid long-term investment...
Utilizing hydrologic soil grouping to estimate corn nitrogen rate recommendations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Nitrogen fertilizer recommendations in corn (Zea mays L.) that match crop N need are imperative to increasing profitability and preventing environmental contamination. However, processes influencing corn production (i.e. ...
