Nest site selection in Arctic-breeding shorebirds: effects of habitat, social factors, and experience
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Birds select nest sites based on factors that maximize their own survival and reproductive success. These factors include a location and structure that offers safety from predators, a favorable nest microclimate, proximity ...
Avian population responses to Anthropogenic landscape changes in Pohnpei, Federated Sates of Micronesia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
An assessment of stream fish vulnerability and an evaluation of conservation networks in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Stream fish species in Missouri are being exposed to habitat degradation, as well as increases in stream temperature and alterations to the flow regime due to climate change. These threats are likely to have negative ...
Greater sage-grouse nest site selection, brood-rearing site selection, and chick survival in Wyoming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) populations throughout North America were recently listed as �warranted but precluded� under the Endangered Species Act. North America�s largest wind ...
Nitrogen fertilizer management of temporarily waterlogged soils to improve corn production and reduce environmental nitrogen loss
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Intense precipitation events during the corn growing season on poorly-drained soils in the Midwestern United States can result in yield loss due to abiotic plant stress and nitrogen fertilizer loss associated with flooding. ...
Management impacts on GHG emissions and yield for an organic soybean cropManagement impacts on GHG emissions and yield for an organic soybean crop
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
As demand for organically grown food increases, growing organic soybean can be profitable and also improve soil ecosystem services through sustainable agronomic practices. However, because most chemical inputs are restricted ...
Analysis of heavy-rain-producing elevated thunderstorms in the Mo-Ks-Ok region of the United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Soil hydraulic and physical properties as affected by logging management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Former studies have shown that once compacted, forest soils often recover slowly (many decades) to pre-disturbed levels for soil properties such as bulk density or penetrometer resistance. Runoff and soil erosion from ...
An analysis of the spring-to-summer transition in the west central Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The spring-to-summer transition is of special importance in forecasting, as the general circulation undergoes an energy shift to a warmer regime, which affects the Midwestern United States. Beginning at the most localized ...
Measuring and modeling stream and air temperature relationships in a multiland use watershed of the central United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
A nested-scale experimental watershed study design approach was used in an urban watershed of the central U.S. to investigate stream water temperature (Tw) variability during water year's 2011, 2012, and 2013. Drought ...
Radar characteristics of tornadic and non-tornadic quasi-linear convective systems over the central United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
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). ...
Effects of veterinary antibiotics on atrazine degradation in soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The release of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in the environment is concerning because VAs have been linked to the development of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and may influence nutrient cycling and agrochemical degradation. ...
Bat data : Michigan, Detroit
(2014)
Mist-netting was the survey technique over ultrasound-sensing because netting allowed for the elimination of repeat captures, which was required for statistical independence, and allowed for the determination of age ratios, ...
Utilization of managed subsurface drainage to increase corn and forage yields and reduce nitrogen loss in poorly-drained, upland and bottomland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Using enstrophy-based diagnostics to examine the dynamic stability characteristics of anticyclones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Blocking anticyclones are quasi-stationary atmospheric phenomena. Past research has demonstrated that blocking onset and decay periods are associated ...
A new method of calculating vertical motion in isentropic space
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
A full isentropic vertical motion (?�??) has long been difficult to calculate in an operational forecasting environment. However, recent interactions with the Springfield, MO National Weather Service Office spurred the ...
Modeling historic, current, and available aboveground forest biomass along the Missouri River corridor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
This research presents the culmination of statistical, landscape, and geospatial analyses that examine the geographic dynamics of aboveground forest biomass (AFB) within the Missouri River corridor, Missouri USA. The ...
The impact of environmental changes on park use and crossing behaviors in an underserved Columbia, MO neighborhood
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.]
Changes in selected soil quality indicators in forested soils following sawlog harvest
