Influence of residue management on soil chemical properties and nutrient flux in forests harvested for woody biomass
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Altered soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux within forests harvested for woody biomass may result from disturbance, slash removals, slash decomposition, and mineralization. Because of the potential adverse effects ...
Bird data : Kenya, Nairobi
(Nairobi : Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Research Production and Extension Division, 2010)
The landscape structure of Nairobi city is experiencing rapid transformation as once wild and pristine spaces are converted to anthropocentric uses. In order to understand how the changing urban structure affects urban ...
Bird data : Canada, Ottawa
(Ottawa Breeding Bird Count, 2011)
We have only a basic understanding of how urban development affects native bird populations. Citizens, planners, and developers will all benefit from having access to rigorously collected and quantified baseline observations. ...
Bird data : UK, Bristol
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
Different urban breeding bird communities are associated with different habitat types, but, although community species diversity varies significantly, total bird density does not. Aims: To investigate the association ...
Bird data : India, Kolkata
(http://www.kolkatabirds.com, 2011)
Birds of India provides information on Indian birds and on birding in India. Launched as 'Birds of Kolkata' in 2001, it is a birding resource containing images, checklists, trip reports, hotspots & much more. The site is ...
Bird data : USA, Fresno, California
(M.S. Thesis, University of California, Fresno, 2010)
The availability of water is arguably the most important landscape factor, particularly in arid climates. Homeowner decisions regarding irrigation are likely to have a direct effect on bird species richness. Previous ...
Bird data : Australia, Brisbane
(Thesis, University of Queensland, 2011)
Unprecedented loss of global biodiversity driven by anthropogenic actives continues, and in response governments and researchers around the world have prioritised efforts to slow the continued decline in species diversity. ...
Bird data : Bolivia, La Paz
(Springer, 2010)
Urbanization alters ecosystems worldwide, but little is known about its effects in the Neotropical region. In the present research we examined the relative influence of different levels of urbanization and of some urban ...
Bird data : Maryland, Baltimore
(2010)
This study predicted avian species using the social area analysis approach, and census tract block group variables. By using European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) as a focal species, I wished to determine what socioeconomic ...
Bird data : Switzerland, Lucerne
(Wiley on behalf of the Ecological Society of America, 2010)
Spatially organized distribution patterns of species and communities are shaped by both autogenic processes (neutral mechanism theory) and exogenous processes (niche theory). In the latter, environmental variables that are ...
Bird data : Switzerland, Lugano
(Wiley on behalf of the Ecological Society of America, 2010)
Spatially organized distribution patterns of species and communities are shaped by both autogenic processes (neutral mechanism theory) and exogenous processes (niche theory). In the latter, environmental variables that are ...
Bird data : Switzerland, Zurich
(Ecological Society of America, 2010)
Spatially organized distribution patterns of species and communities are shaped by both autogenic processes (neutral mechanism theory) and exogenous processes (niche theory). In the latter, environmental variables that are ...
Identification and characterization of atrazine-degrading phytochemicals in eastern gamagrass
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Naturally occurring phytochemicals of the 1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (Bx) class exhibit broad chemical reactivity that includes detoxification of chloro-triazine herbicides. Atrazine (6-chloro-N-ethyl-N’-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5- ...
Linking wetland management decisions to secretive marsh bird habitat use during spring migration and summer breeding on public wetlands in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The extent to which secretive marsh birds rely on wetlands in Missouri during spring migration is relatively unknown. My objective for chapter one was ...
Bird data : Brazil, Porto Alegre
(Springer, 2011)
Cities are highly modified environments in which the only areas that resemble natural landscapes are urban parks with low human population density. Attempts are frequently made to maintain high bird diversity in cities for ...
Linking wetland management decisions to secretive marsh bird habitat use during spring migration and summer breeding on public wetlands in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Dynamic occupancy modeling was used to determine how SMB occupancy and colonization and extinction probabilities were influenced by wetland management practices, including the duration and initiation date of spring water-level ...
Habitat selection, movement, and home range of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) following a habitat enhancement project in Table Rock Lake, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Over 2,000 augmentation structures (trees, stumps, and rock piles) have been distributed throughout Table Rock Lake, Missouri. Our objectives were to determine habitat selection, movement, and home range of largemouth bass ...
Habitat selection of brown-headed nuthatches at multiple spatial scales
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Resources shape the movements and space use of birds. In turn, birds differ in their relative fitness, in part as a consequence of movement and space use decisions. The saga of each individual plays out across time and ...
Thinning and burning in oak woodlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
The legacy of fire suppression in savanna, woodland, and forest ecosystems since the early 20th century has allowed heavy encroachment of fire-intolerant species throughout open-oak communities of Midwestern North America. ...
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and exposure to nature in college students
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent behavioral disorders in the U.S. and has significant cognitive and behavioral symptoms (e.g., challenges in focus, memory, and sustained attention). ...
