Corridors and deer-vehicle collisions along Missouri interstate highways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
. This study investigated DVCs on interstate highways using secondary data obtained from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Each pair of longitude and latitude coordinates was uploaded into Google Maps and observed on a 200-foot scale view. Aerial photography...
Turning up the heat: fire ecology and climate adaptive silviculture in longleaf pine forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
spatial variability of fire will be key to managing with prescribed fire in future climates. To address these challenges, managers are considering climate-adaptive silviculture approaches that focus on improving ecosystem resistance or resilience and even...
Uneven-aged management in the Missouri Ozarks: effects of site conditions, stand density, and prior populations on oak regeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
While studies have shown the importance of site characteristics and overstory density on the success of white oak regeneration under uneven-aged management, few studies have analyzed the effects of these variables over time in the Missouri Ozarks...
Insight into the roles of prescribed fire and hardwood competition in the survival and growth of shortleaf pine throughout its early life
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
pine is competition from hardwoods. In Missouri specifically, many sites formerly occupied by shortleaf pine are now dominated by oak species with established and highly competitive advanced regeneration. Prescribed fire is a tool often used...
Effects of dormant season soil flooding and soil temperature on pin oak (Quercus palustris) seedlings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
. During soil flooding, root mass was significantly less in flooded seedlings than those that were not flooded. However, following drainage this difference was no longer present. By the end of the experiment, seedlings that received flooding exhibited...
