Experiment to determine the relation existing between drainage water and the soil, and the relation existing between drainage water and rainfall
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
The time chosen for conducting this experiment was the year of 1906. The drainage water taken was that of Richland creek which drains a territory of 84,954 acres. This valley is located in the southwestern part of Madison ...
The use of geomorphological and pedological soil characteristics to assess planar borrowing at a Mandan Indian village, North Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The Double Ditch State Historic Site is situated in a loess landscape immediately east of the Missouri River near Bismarck, North Dakota. The site was occupied from ca AD 1450 to 1785 by Mandan Indians, Plains Villagers ...
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)
Part I: The question of color in red clover seed is a matter to which practical farmers have come to attach some importance as an indication of the relative value of different samples. However, all do not hold the same ...
Some problems in seed germination and in the physiology of transplanting : a thesis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
The data that will be given in the following paper have been collected from various experiments carried on by the writer during the school year of 1906-1907. They go to show the progress of the various tests, the results ...
Regional and geomorphic influence on soil genesis and oak ecosystems in the Chariton River Hills of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Little is known about soil, geomorphic, and vegetation relationships in the moderately-dissected glaciated forests of the Chariton River Hills Ecological Subsection (CRHES). To gain a better understanding of these relationships ...
Soil microbial contribution to greenhouse gas efflux from a secondary forest in central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) vary with the interactions among physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soil and microclimate. Soil microorganisms are involved in almost all soil processes, and are also ...
The verification of weather forecasts, numerical modeling, climatology, and variations in enso cycles in forecast accuracy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Weather forecasting has been a difficult problem for meteorologist for more than one hundred years. In the early days, our understanding of atmospheric processes was limited by our incomplete understanding of the governing ...
Sorption and transport of veterinary antibiotics in agroforestry buffer, grass buffer, and cropland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Understanding sorption and transport of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) is important for assessing the risk of VAs reaching water resources. Vegetative buffer strips (VBS) may be a useful tool for mitigating veterinary ...
Enhanced efficiency phosphorus application for corn
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Farmers are interested in the use of enhanced efficiency phosphorus (P) fertilizer applications or treatments. The objectives of this research are (1) to determine the effects of tillage/fertilizer placement [no-till ...
The effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The experimental work for this thesis was planned to secure information as to the effect of limestone applied to an acid soil (1) on the growth of legumes, (2) on the activities of tuberclue bacteria, and (3) on the amount ...
Apple orchards of Missouri : soils and varieties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the apple soils of Missouri; telling why some are better than others for growing fruit, giving their locations, and also discussing the varieties best suited to these sections. In ...
The effect of different nutritive planes upon the economy of gain and the rate of growth of young cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
This investigation was undertaken in order that something might be learned concerning: (a) the cost of maintenance of live weight in ungrown cattle; (b) the effect of a maintenance ration upon the condition of ungrown ...
Influence of agroforestry buffers on soil hydraulic properties relative to row crop management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Agroforestry (AgB) and grass (GB) buffers have been developed as a part of the management system for row crop areas in temperate regions to improve ...
Grain yield and greenhouse gas emissions from organic and conventional cropping systems on claypan soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] With increasing world populations, farmers must become more efficient at producing food, fiber and fuel while reducing negative environmental impacts. ...
Cover crops : an alternative practice to improve soil physical properties and soil water dynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Cover crop management practices have emerged in the past decades as an alternative to improve soil physical, biological and chemical properties by ...
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux in Ozark Highland forest soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux may differ among soils due to differences in parent material, biota, landscape position, climate, and degree of weathering. Within soils, soil solution chemistry changes seasonally ...
Neighboring upper level jet streaks, their proximity, and their synergestic coupling of the divergent regions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
A reoccurring question when diagnosing the upper troposphere is: How close is close enough for jet streaks to be considered coupled? The phrase, 'coupled jet streaks' refers to two individual jet streaks working synergistically ...
An analysis of environmental influences on morphologies and tornadogenesis within quasi-linear convective systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) often take the form of quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) within the mid-latitudes of the United States. QLCSs have a quasi-linear convective precipitation structure either followed ...
Characterization of soil organic matter under varying conservation management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This study examined the effects of three conservation management practices (i.e., no-till, grass vegetative filter strips (VFS) and agroforestry VFS) and four landscape positions (i.e., summit, shoulder, backslope and ...
