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...
Regeneration of soil microbial, physical, and chemical properties in restored bottomland hardwood forest wetlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
(WRP)] was initiated with the goal of reducing the loss of wetlands and restoring wetlands previously converted to agricultural land use. Despite the importance of preserving and restoring wetlands, the benefits of wetland restoration have not been well...
