Impacts of municipal wastewater effluent on seed banks, chemistry, and microorganisms of soils excavated from wetland impoundments designated for wildlife
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
To evaluate the effects of municipal wastewater effluent (WWE) and Missouri River water (MOR) as irrigation sources on soil chemistry, seed banks, and microorganisms, a field study was conducted in conjunction with a set ...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
material was packed to a bulk density of 1.3 Mg m[superscript -3] (81 lb ft[superscript -3]) in soil test beds subjected to a 61-mm h[superscript -1] (2.4-in hr[superscript -1]) simulated rainfall with a kinetic energy (KE) of 1.5 kJ m[superscript-2] h...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Water and soil are two key elements for life on this planet, and improving and preserving their quality are of prime importance. Various human actions including use of intensive chemicals in agriculture have accelerated ...
Variability of soil hydraulic properties and estimation of plant-available water on claypan-soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
was determined for a 1.2-m soil profile (PAW[subscript 1.2]). Plant-available water fraction values of 0.23 and 0.12 were used for the topsoil layer (assumed to be silt loam) and subsoil layer (assumed to be silty clay) textures, and the boundary between the two...
