Development of an integrated forest management decision support system: integrating the LANDIS model and ArcGIS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
eliminates the time-consuming parameter editing work necessary for the LANDIS model, simplifies the technical operations of running the model, and allows managers to focus on evaluating their management plans. A case study is presented, applying FMDSS to data...
Groundwater vulnerability to agrochemicals: a GIS-based DRASTIC model analysis of Carroll, Chariton, and Saline counties, Missouri USA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This investigation presents an analysis of groundwater vulnerability in three mid-Missouri counties that represent an agricultural production region that is physiographically and hydrogeologically complex. The goals of this study are to (1) provide...
A comparison of forest change detection methods and implications for forest management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Currently, oak decline and the red oak borer are affecting large portions of the Missouri Ozarks. The challenge to resource managers is that once the decline is visible on the ground, the forest stand is beyond treatment and must be salvage logged...
A test of differential GPS correction methods at Fort Huachuca, Arizona
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
possible explanation for the limited utility of CORS base data at Fort Huachuca. The "Sky Islands" of southeastern Arizona present widely varying terrain conditions over relatively short distances, and blockage of the sky due to horizon differences is one...
Reconsidering the paleorange of Fagus grandifolia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
paleopollen data from the World Data Center in conjunction with a recent chloroplastic DNA study of one temperate woody vegetation species, Fagus grandifolia. The pollen percentage level of 0.5 percent of total pollen is used to infer the presence of Fagus...
Spatial distribution and historical dynamics of threatened conifers of the Dalat Plateau, Vietnam
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
are found in this area. Among the 14 species of conifers found here, six have been evaluated in the 2004 IUCN Global Red List of Threatened Species. However, due to the remoteness of the mountains where these conifers grow, there is very limited information...
Regional patterns of presettlement forests in the Boston mountains of northwest Arkansas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Land Office survey records predating extensive European settlement to reconstruct regional forest patterns. Survey records were digitized into a Geographic Information Systems database in order to interpolate land cover and forest types as well as map...
