A multi-configuration evaluation of the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) in a mixed land use watershed in the central U.S.A.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
. Watershed and soil resolution had negligible impact; climate input had considerable impact. Single climate station input is best used for applications requiring monthly predictions; distributed climate station input is needed for daily predictions. SWAT...
The potential of producing bioenergy crops on conservation reserve program land in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas (MINK Region) to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions : an integrated economics and biological modeling approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
policymakers develop sustainable and balance of energy-agriculture-environmental policies....
Restoring forest composition and structure of riparian corridors in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
bottomland agricultural fields. These afforestation practices most often consist of planting bare-root tree seedlings of a select number of hardmast species and managing vegetation with a number of pre- and postemergent herbicides, or planting a perennial...
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 ...
Detection and modeling of bat species occupancy at multiple scales across a forested landscape in southeastern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Populations of forest dwelling bats have been in decline in recent years, and have therefore become increasing foci in forestry research efforts. Difficulty in bat species...
Using attitutudes and motivations to segment the landowner audience: a typology of family forest owners in the Missouri Ozarks and description of management and information behaviors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
With 74% of Missouri's forestland controlled by family forest owners, understanding this ownership group is important to ensuring the sustainable management of the state's forests. Audience segmentation techniques can help us to understand...
Modeling the financial impact of management decisions on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Located primarily in the southeastern United States, Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is a variety of Southern yellow pine that is often planted by non-industrial private landowners seeking a beneficial long-term investment ...
Site preparation for longleaf pine restoration on hydric sites : stand development and ground flora responses 15 years after planting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) restoration is an important land management goal throughout the Southeast. On hydric sites within the Atlantic Coastal Plain, restoration may involve site preparation prior to planting ...
Evaluation of the Private Forestland Ownership Paracelization and its effects on the forest landscape in the southeastern Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
This study investigates the impacts of the forestland ownership parcelization on species composition, age structure and spatial pattern of the forest landscape. First, a computer model was developed to create ownership ...
A multi-dimensional investigation into the effects of flooding on the physical, chemical and biotic properties of riparian soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
flooding. Simulated floods were created under greenhouse and field laboratory settings to assess these changes as well as the effect of soil chemistry changes on germination and seedling growth. In addition, riparian forests in northwest Missouri were...
Woody species and forest structure in northern Missouri riparian forests with different ages and watershed sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
A chronosequence (1 to 250+ years) of 160 woody species plots was established throughout northern Missouri riparian forests to explain the influence of site hydrology and stand age on species distribution and forest structure. Stand age was found...
