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...
Anthropogenic effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
are understudied relative to agronomic systems with respect to soil health. The primary objective of this study was to enhance the understanding of forest soil health in the Missouri Ozarks via three research objectives: (1) quantification of the effects...
Greenhouse gas emissions and soil microbial activity for selected land use systems in floodplains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
and droughts (IPCC, 2021). An estimated 23 percent of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (2007-2016) derive from agriculture, forestry, and other types of land use. Land management activities affect the soil microbiome and thus greenhouse gas (GHG...
Forecasting wind speeds at tall tower heights within Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Forecasting of wind speeds is necessary for the planning and operations of the wind power generating plants. This research investigates the short term forecasting of wind speeds at tall tower heights for stations within Missouri: Columbia, Neosho...
Detection of gust fronts using the doppler velocity derived divergence product
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
storm. Radar data for the study was collected using the University of Missouri-Columbia's MZZU X-Band radar, as well as the WSR-88D from the NWS Saint Louis CFO. Data processing was performed through the Warning Decision Support System...
Impacts of soil management practices on soil fertility in potato-based cropping systems in the Bolivian Andean highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Due to changes in climate and socioeconomic developments, current soil management practices in the Bolivian Andean Highlands may be increasing soil degradation thereby threatening food security. A study was established in ...
Playa wetland plant and soil response to predicted climate and land use change in the southern Great Plains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, and microbial community and structure; (2) compare ecosystem response to changing climatic conditions between Northern (Nebraska) and Southern (Texas) playa soils; and (3) assess effectsof increased agricultural nitrogen inputs on playa plant communities...
