Climate and land use effects on hydrologic processes and water allocation in a primarily rain-fed, agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] There is a need to raise our understanding of the impact of climate variability and change on hydrologic processes at the watershed scale. This is important, particularly...
Storage facilities of Missouri country elevators
(University of Missouri., 1958)
"The objectives are to determine adequacy of present storage facilities by Crop Reporting Districts and to provide information for decisions relative to location, capacity, type, remodeling, and rebuilding of country ...
A study of the physical and chemical properties of the soil as influenced by cowpea culture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In the past twenty-five years much experimental work has been done with cowpeas, in relation to cultural methods, fertilization, and variety tests, but practically nothing has been written with regard to the direct effect ...
The price-quality relationship of lint cotton in five local markets in southeast, Missouri, 1951-1953
(University of Missouri., 1958)
"A purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the various local markets in reflecting to cotton producers the average price level prevailing for cotton, and in reflecting central market premiums and discounts ...
The effect of calcium carbonate of certain soil constituents and on plant growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
of Problem": It is the purpose of this investigation to secure data on the effects of adding calcium carbonate in the form of ground limestone to types of soils of common occurrence in the state of Missouri. These effects were studied in crop yields, in per...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and water quality and given rise to non-point source pollutants. The claypan soil region of Missouri has a high runoff potential that increases the possibility of transport of non-point source pollutants to downstream sites. The Agricultural Policy...
Restoration treatments and regeneration dynamics in East Texas mixed wood forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Extensive harvesting, fire exclusion, and plantation forestry altered composition and structure, and thus function and habitat values of east Texas Pineywoods uplands. Upland restoration efforts are made difficult by the ...
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....
Economic analysis of woody biomass harvesting in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
An integrated mechanized timber harvest thinning treatment to remove small diameter trees and merchantable saw logs was conducted on 30 acres of the Missouri, Ozarks in the summer of 2009. Two silvicultural treatments (single tree selection...
Factors affecting the growth of dairy animals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from introduction: All successful breeders are continually striving to improve the quality of their herds. The value of any dairy herd is determined to a great extent by the way in which the heifers within that herd ...
Winter rations for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The special object of these experiments is to compare the efficiency and economy of rations which are conducive to rapid growth with rations of such character as to admit of but limited growth....
Expectation formulations and optimal decisions in cattle feedlot problems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
of expectations in decision models, very little has been done in agricultural economic research. This study consists of an investigation of the role of expectations in decision problems of the type just sketched. More specifically, the investigation is carried out...
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...
The killing of plant tissue by low temperature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
-soaked appearance, and evaporation from that tissue is much more rapid than from living tissue. In the experiments described in this paper, the killing temperature of plant tissue that kills at relatively high temperature has been reduced whenever the sap density...
Golden-cheeked warbler nest success and nest predators in urban and rural landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
We studied nesting success of Golden-cheeked Warblers (Dendroica chrysoparia) from 2005-2006 in urban and rural landscapes in central Texas. We used an information-theoretic approach to evaluate models representing hypotheses ...
I. Studies with red clover seed as related to color. II. Studies with the impurities found in red clover and alfalfa seed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
to the number and character of the weeds disbursed in this way in Missouri, samples of clover seed were secured from farmers throughout the State and from retail and wholesale seed merchants who supply more or less foreign seed to Missouri farmers....
Agro-pastoral Landuse Transformation: Implications and Perspectives in the Northwest Region of Cameroon

Investigation of transportation innovations for food delivery and truck platoons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Studies find that low-income areas are underserved by food retailers and have less access to healthy food, contributing to health disparities. A section of this thesis examines micromobility, drones, and ridesharing that ...
