Enhanced rhizodegradation of munitions explosives and degradates by selected native grass species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) and RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) are the two most widespread explosives in the world. The manufacture, use and disposal of explosives can result in environmental contamination, ... -
Imidacloprid sorption and transport in cropland, grass buffer and riparian buffer soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Knowledge of neonicotinoid sorption and transport in soil is crucial to understanding environmental risk associated with the most widely used class of insecticides. To determine mobility and transport of the neonicotinoid ... -
Influence of agroforestry buffers on soil hydraulic properties relative to row crop management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Agroforestry (AgB) and grass (GB) buffers have been developed as a part of the management system for row crop areas in temperate regions to improve ... -
Long-term soil and crop management effects on soil physical properties related to soil erodibility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Long-term soil and cropping systems affect soil physical properties thereby effecting soil erosion and erodibility. Understanding the effects of crop ... -
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 ... -
Soil quality as affected by agroforestry and grass buffers in grazed pasture and row crop systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Establishment of agroforestry and grass buffers within agroecosystems is believed to improve soil quality. Soil enzyme activities and water stable aggregates have been identified as sensitive soil quality indicators to ... -
Soil quality assessment for an alfisol undergoing alternative organic weed management systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)As organic agriculture farmland continues to increase on a global scale with 6.5 million hectares added during 2014-2016, the increased number of organic producers will be expected to fulfill sustainability obligations. ... -
Water infiltration and soil water content in claypan soils influenced by agroforestry and grass buffers compared to row crop management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The effects of agroforestry and grass-legume buffers on in situ water infiltration relative to row crop management (RC) were assessed for a claypan ...
