Evaluating effects of neonicotinoid seed treatments and agroecosystem land management practices on solitary bees in Midwestern agroecosystems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Bees are declining due to multiple factors including habitat loss and non-target exposure to pesticides resulting from agricultural intensification. Solitary bees are often overlooked as important pollinators, but they are valuable contributors...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A common goal in land-management planning is to describe the relationship between management actions, vegetation and wildlife habitat conditions for large landscapes. Achieving this goal can be challenging because ecological ...
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...

Integrating cover crops into crop rotations in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"There is an increasing emphasis on management strategies such as reduced tillage, use of cover crops, and implementation of conservation practices (i.e. terraces, no-till, and cropping systems) in Missouri cropping systems. By combining best...
Impact of Intellectual Property Rights in the Seed Sector on Crop Yield Growth and Social Welfare : A Case Study Approach
(AgBioForum, 2009)
A case-study approach is used to track research funding decisions made by the private seed sector. The three cases chosen provide a range of intellectual property protection (IPP) environments, crops, and companies, namely, ...
Optimizing crop N use efficiency using polymer-coated urea and other N fertilizer sources across landscapes with claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Development of improved management practices to increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) within agricultural fields is needed to improve crop production and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. Field studies planted to maize were conducted in 2005 and 2006...
The military versus the press : Japanese military controls over one U.S. journalist, John B. Powell, in Shanghai during the Sino-Japanese war, 1937-1941
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Military controls over journalism and journalists during wartime have long existed in various forms. As multinational relations become more complex during a war, the military controls can extend beyond the journalists of ...

(2015-08-11)
This dissertation centers on the human-environmental problem of agro-pastoral
landuse transformation in Northwest Cameroon, identifying population pressure, climate
change, environmental degradation, land grabbing, change ...
More than a river: using nature for reform in the progressive era
(2013)
how progressives looked to nature as a tool of social reform. Each of these men understood the American environment in multiple contexts. Nostalgia and romanticized Missouri River history activated themes of empire, race, and manhood in Neihardt’s work...

Making the Frontier’s Anatomical Engineers: Osteopathy, A. T. Still (1828–1917), his Acolytes and Patients
(2020)
in Kirksville, Missouri, the school saw massive growth during the period from 1892 to 1898. Using student ledger books, I analyze the first students to determine who became osteopaths. Many of these students came to osteopathy as a second career, after having...
Glyphosate resistance : pollen movement within a common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) population and herbicide release from common waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis sauer) plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Common ragweed and Common waterhemp are native, summer annual weeds distributed widely throughout the United States. Both weed species have developed resistance to the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate. Research was ...
Effects of low crude protein diets with amino acid supplementation on broiler performance in the starter period
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding low crude protein (CP) corn and soybean meal diets with crystalline amino acid supplementation to broilers from 0-3 weeks of age. It was hypothesized that these diets would...
Missouri crop performance, 2002 : Corn
(2002)
Compares hybrids and includes experimental procedures, traditional, special trait and new technology corn trials, seed corn characteristics and seed corn company addresses.
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...
Playa wetland plant and soil response to predicted climate and land use change in the southern Great Plains

Experiences of students with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in online learning environments: a multi-case study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
research question was how do students with ADHD experience the online learning environment? A multi-case study design was used. The bounded system for the study was students with ADHD enrolled in online courses. The four participants selected for the study...
Assessing the capacity for collaborative ecosystem stewardship on private forestland in the Missouri Ozarks
