Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ... -
Soil and crop management influences on soil physical quality of Sanborn Field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Soil water is often the most limited factor for plant growth and yield, causing plant available water to be the best indicator of soil quality. This study explores how soil and crop management influences soil physical ... -
Soil surface-seal measurement using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Rainfall on bare soil breaks soil aggregates, detaching particles, plugging pores and decreasing porosity in the top few mm of soil. This reduces hydraulic conductivity and increases runoff through a process known as surface ...
