Biomass production of five populus clones, soil carbon and soil water content in a central Missouri floodplain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Five Populus clones in two short rotation 5 year plantations were tested for biomass production and associated soil C changes in the central Missouri floodplain under climatic conditions of the Midwest. A Populus deltoides ... -
An ecological study of American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) in the Missouri Ozark Highlands: effects of herbivory and harvest, ecological characterization and wild simulated cultivation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Matrix population analysis was used to analyze eight years of demographic data from six American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) populations in east-central Missouri to examine effects of herbivory by white-tailed deer ... -
Ferns as a forest farming crop: effects of light levels on growth and frond quality of selected speicies with potential in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)In Missouri 11.3 million acres of commercial forests are privately owned. The vast majority is under very little - if any - management. Agroforestry, specifically forest farming, has the potential to provide producers an ... -
Great Lakes lake trout early mortality syndrome (EMS) : contaminants, thiamin status, and their possible interaction

Impacts of suspended and deposited sediment on benthic invertebrates and fishes in a Missouri Ozark stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Sediment is suspected in the decline of sensitive-aquatic organisms in the Osage River basin of Missouri. In this study, I monitored sediment dynamics and evaluated corresponding linkages with benthic invertebrate and fish ... -
An investigation of flow and IZOF utilization of FSS-2
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)When challenge and skill are perfectly balanced, frequently this experience is described as flowing or being in the zone. This relationship describing this optimal zone has been studied in the flow theory. This optimal ... -
Rhizobacteria associated with glyphosate-resistant soybean (Glycine Max)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The research was conducted to examine the impact of GR soybean treated with glyphosate on rhizobacterial activities involved in IAA production and soil C and N mineralization in different soil management systems; to determine ...
