Imidacloprid sorption and transport in cropland, grass buffer and riparian buffer soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
sorption and column leaching experiments were performed using soils collected from cropland (crop), grass vegetative buffer strips (VBS), and riparian VBS. Single-point, solid-to-solution partition coefficients (Kd) were determined by reacting soil...
Stand structure development effects on wood quality of Melina (Gmelina arborea roxb.)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A stem analysis was perform to examines the effects of thinning treatments on Melina (Gmelina arborea) wood quality and tree architecture in the North Coast of Colombia. 27 plots under forest management regimes and age ...
Three essays on biofuel policies and aggregate supply curve
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The first essay investigates the impacts of Brazil's new biofuel policy, namely RenovaBio. RenovaBio aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector through expansion of biofuels by requiring ...

Multi-scale factors influencing detection, site occupancy and resource use by foraging bats in the Ozark Highlands of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Conservation of bat populations requires understanding the associations between bats and their use of resources. We used maximum likelihood to estimate probability of site occupancy using acoustic data for ten species of ...
Identification and characterization of health-promoting benefits and bioactive molecules in black walnuts (Juglans nigra l.) and waste materials from agroforestry systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
selected and cultivated for nut production by the University of Missouri - Center for Agroforestry (Columbia, MO, USA). Additionally, it is likely that the bioactive activities of black walnut are correlated with its bioactive constituents including...
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...
The demography of Atlantic brant (Branta bernicla hrota)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
for greatest understanding of population level processes and to inform prioritization of conservation efforts for Atlantic brant. Future brant research should focus on nutrient dynamics of James Bay staging areas, identifying core breeding areas and quantifying...
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...
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 ...
