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 ...
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 ...
Student perceptions of employability skills
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The purpose of this study was to assess the employability skills of students and recent graduates from the University of Missouri's Parks, Recreation ...
Changes in selected soil quality indicators in forested soils following sawlog harvest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
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- ...
Lek ecology of male greater sage-grouse in Carbon County, Wyoming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Radar characteristics of tornadic and non-tornadic quasi-linear convective systems over the central United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Long-term effects of a prescribed fire regime on tree seedling density in an oak-hickory woodland
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The massive of oak-hickory forests and woodlands, in combination with the decline of dominant overstory oaks, is becoming an important management issue in the Central Hardwoods Region. Suppression of understory-tolerant ...
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.]
Tropical forest conservation Ecuador's Socio Bosque Program
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Ecuador experienced a deforestation rate, for the period between 2005 and 2010, of 186,448 ha/year. Thus, Ecuador is among the countries with the highest ...
Environmental implications of phosphate-based amendments in heavy metal contaminated alluvial soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Initial movements and disturbance response of a newly reintroduced elk herd in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Initial movements of reintroduced wildlife populations can determine shortterm restoration success. Managers need ways to encourage animals to exhibit high release site fidelity so that they can mitigate suboptimal breeding, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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). ...
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 ...
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. ...
