Plant community response during establishment of woodland silvopasture in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Disturbance-mediated oak (Quercus spp.) woodlands were formerly a prevalent community type in Missouri, and their restoration is a key objective of land management agencies and conservation organizations. Over one-third of wooded land in Missouri (2...
Canopy recruitment dynamics in naturally regenerated longleaf pine (pinus palustris) woodlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
. While research has elucidated much about regeneration dynamics, there is a paucity of information regarding the recruitment period between the grass stage and canopy status. The overall goal of this project was to determine the factors influencing canopy...
Effects of low crude protein diets with amino acid supplementation on broiler performance in the starter period
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding low crude protein (CP) corn and soybean meal diets with crystalline amino acid supplementation to broilers from 0-3 weeks of age. It was hypothesized that these diets would...

Monetary Policies for Full Employment and Price Stability in Saudi Arabia: An Endogenous Money Approach
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Despite being a relatively young and prosperous country, Saudi Arabia has recently suffered from substantial rises in unemployment. This dissertation thus examines the root
causes for the rise in unemployment and limited ...
Assessing red wolf conservation based on analyses of habitat suitability and human perception of carnivores
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
research was published on the original wild red wolf population, a literature review of red wolf landscape use and suitability analyses was conducted to identify primary habitat metrics for inclusion. We examined how much of the overall landscape of the red...
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 ...
Characterization of diverse soybean genotypes for phosphorus uptake and use efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
was aimed at identifying and characterizing soybean genotypes which contrast in their ability to take up P and in their PUE. Results from pot and field experiments with diverse soybean genotypes, including SoyNAM parents, obsolete cultivars, commercial...
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...
Evolution of the Bahamian coastal environment of San Salvador Island over the last 3,500 years based on triangle pond sediment cores
(2014-07-25)
The multiproxy examination of ten soft sediment cores extracted from Triangle Pond
was used in order to establish alterations in the northwestern coastal environment of San
Salvador Island, The Bahamas over the last 3,500 ...
Missouri rice research update, Missouri rice research and merchandising council (2019)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2019)
This report includes a compilation of the trials and research of rice planting and harvesting in Missouri and Arkansas. The research extends throughout 2019, reporting on the results of harvest for that season and discussion for the future....
Genetic mapping of soybean cyst nematode resistance and evaluation of resistant germplasm in soybean and pennycress
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
pennycress germplasm. We identified one common susceptible germplasm, eight resistant germplasm against HG type 1.2.5.7, and four resistant germplasm against HG type 7. The resistant pennycress germplasm identified here opens a new research avenue...
Effects of Selected Contaminants on the Physical, Chemical, and Geotechnical Properties of Aquifer Solid
(2014)
The primary objective of this study was to investigate the potential effects of hydrocarbons on the geotechnical properties of sand. A series of laboratory experiments were carried out to ascertain the influence of some common and widespread organic...
Development and validation of standardized sampling protocols for assessing freshwater mussel populations in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
step in assessing populations. We surveyed 14 sites in the Meramec River Basin in East-central Missouri to determine the effectiveness of visual sampling methods and to determine the effects of habitat variability on the effectiveness of these methods...
