Assessment and diversity of fish communities in non-wadeable tributaries of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)As the geographical centers of riverscapes, rivers support fish populations at local and basin-wide scales. However, refinements to fish sampling protocols and theories underpinning basin-wide community ecology have been ... -
Effect of climate change, drought, and insects on oak-pine forests in the Ozark highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Oak-dominated forests in the Ozarks Highlands of Arkansas and Missouri have been suffering severe oak decline and this became a chronic ... -
Forage production and diversification for climate-smart tropical and temperate silvopastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Climate change creates much uncertainty for the future of animal agriculture, particularly due to an increase in summer droughts that result in the loss of range productivity. Silvopasture, the intentional integration of ... -
Forest adaptation and transition in the eastern united states under climate change : a forest landscape modeling method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Forest management is rapidly shifting in focus to address the adaptive capacity of forests under uncertain future climates. Managers and researchers often utilize models to proactively develop strategies for forest adaptation ... -
Heterogeneity in body condition, survival, and seasonal origins among lesser snow and Ross's geese
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Individual heterogeneity in fitness within a population is well established and provides the required variability for natural selection to take place. Yet, in the case of overabundant midcontinent lesser snow (Anser ... -
An integrated modeling approach for estimating the potential hydrologic impacts of urbanization and climatic changes in Hinkson Creek watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Land-use changes and climatic changes are two of the most significant phenomena impacting water regimes globally. Since ongoing land-use changes in the form urbanization and projected climate changes are expected to have ... -
Northern bobwhite brood ecology and population dynamics in southwest Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) have experienced widespread, long-term population declines. Bobwhite populations in Missouri have declined 2.7% annually between 1966 and 2015, and 3.5% annually between 2005 and ... -
Soil health assessment of the Sanborn Field long-term experimental study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Soil health assessment uses a combination of potential indicators affecting soil processes to comprehensively monitor soil change, caused by cropping systems and soil management. The objectives of the study were to assess ... -
Utilizing hydrologic soil grouping to estimate corn nitrogen rate recommendations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Nitrogen fertilizer recommendations in corn (Zea mays L.) that match crop N need are imperative to increasing profitability and preventing environmental contamination. However, processes influencing corn production (i.e. ...
