Effect of climate change, drought, and insects on oak-pine forests in the Ozark highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Oak-dominated forests in the Ozarks Highlands of Arkansas and Missouri have been suffering severe oak decline and this became a chronic problem since the late 1970s...
Effects of fire and thinning on Kansas oak woodlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Prior to Euro-American settlement, a mosaic of prairie, savanna, woodland, and forest existed within the Forest-Prairie Transition Region of the United States, with anthropogenic fire acting as an important driver in the ...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil degradation, impaired water quality, and reduced soil organic carbon have become major concerns in the management of degraded claypan soils with their associated ecological...
Forest adaptation and transition in the eastern united states under climate change : a forest landscape modeling method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Forest management is rapidly shifting in focus to address the adaptive capacity of forests under uncertain future climates. Managers and researchers often utilize models to proactively develop strategies for forest adaptation ...
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...
Phytoplankton response to water quality threats in Midwest reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms and invasive species threaten water quality. These threats are expected to worsen in the future, emphasizing the need for creative management solutions and a thorough understanding of their ...
Soil health assessment of the Sanborn Field long-term experimental study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
cropping systems, soil management and landscape slope positions on the soil health characteristics of the Sanborn Field long-term experimental study in Columbia, Missouri, United States. Soil samples were collected on each of four dates over two years (8 th...
Evaluation and development of first order fire effects mortality model predictions for eastern hardwood forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM) is a useful tool for predicting fire-induced mortality in western coniferous forests. However, it lacks robust models for eastern hardwood species. Managers in the eastern United ...
Cover crop effects on soil moisture dynamics & thermal properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
properties of a corn (Zea mays L.) cropping system. The study was conducted at the Elsberry Plant Material Center - USDA, Missouri, USA, with 1) no-till cover crop (NC), 2) conventional till no cover crop (CN), and 3) no-till no cover crop (NN) treatments. A...
