A study of the factors influencing the ability of the animal to digest its food
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The purpose of the digestion trials, to be discussed in this paper, was to determine the effect of various factors on the ability of the animal to digest its food. The object of these experiments is somewhat different from the great majority...
Quantifying riparian canopy energy attenuation and stream temperature using an energy balance approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
of the central U.S. Hydroclimate data were collected from two intensively instrumented stream reaches of opposite orthogonal compass orientation in a semi-karst watershed on the border of southern Missouri's Ozark region, USA, during the 2010 water year. Data...
Entrainment and transport of coarse stream bed material in a fluviokarst watershed, south-central Missouri : a tracer particle study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Plateau of south-central Missouri, and Bear Cave Hollow (BCH), one of TCC's surface drainage streams, bed load entrainment and transport dynamics of mainly siliciclastic material, was evaluated using hydrological measurements and 670 painted tracer...
River restoration in the upper Mississippi River Basin

An assessment of the light and nutrient regimes constraining phytoplankton dynamics in Missouri reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Worldwide, nutrient pollution, or eutrophication, is one of the most pervasive environmental issues threatening water quality. Anthropogenic influences, primarily urbanization and agriculture, have drastically increased inputs of bioavailable...

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...
Comparison of rainfall energy and soil erosion parameters from a rainfall simulator and natural rain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. In this study, an optical rainfall imaging system was used to determine the drop-size distributions (DSDs) of natural rain in Missouri. These observations have been compared to those from an indoor gravity rainfall simulator. This thesis reports the results...
Beyond the edge : riparian habitat use and forest management effects on stream salamanders in the southern Appalachian mountains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
While there are many types of habitat loss and degradation (e.g., agriculture, land development), many studies have focused on the impacts of logging on wildlife populations and on ecosystem processes. Little information, however, exists...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1998)
This research addresses the issue of efficient user-owned and controlled organizational design. Using agricultural cooperatives as an example set of user-owned and controlled institutional arrangements, the economic issue examined is the degree...
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...
