(2003-11)
A set of consumer-level characteristic demand models were estimated to determine the level of brand equity for pork and beef meat cuts. Results indicate that brand premiums and discounts vary by private, national, and store ...
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 of greenhouse studies...
Fertilizer effects on soil pH, soil nutrients, and nutrient uptake in swamp white and pin oak seedlings on an alkaline Missouri River bottomland
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
There is growing interest among forest and wildlife managers in the reforestation of bottomlands with mast producing hardwoods in the Lower Missouri River and Mississippi River Alluvial valleys. However, it is common for bottomland hardwood...
Impacts of suspended and deposited sediment on benthic invertebrates and fishes in a Missouri Ozark stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Sediment is suspected in the decline of sensitive-aquatic organisms in the Osage River basin of Missouri. In this study, I monitored sediment dynamics and evaluated corresponding linkages with benthic invertebrate and fish assemblages as it related...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ...
An evaluation of pre- and post-timber harvest water quality in low-order streams in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) best management practices (BMPs) for Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) practice was evaluated on effectiveness to preserve downstream water quality. Fifteen sites, located on MDC lands in Shannon...
