Comparison of rainfall energy and soil erosion parameters from a rainfall simulator and natural rain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Numerous studies have used artificial rainfall to quantify relationships for runoff and soil detachment. Application of these results to natural rainfall conditions is dependent in part on how well artificial rainfall ... -
Development and application of variable rate irrigation techniques on non-uniform soils using center-pivot irrigation systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Variable rate irrigation was studied for the production of corn and rice on a nonuniform soil texture using a three tower, conventional, center-pivot irrigation system on the East Marsh Pivot (Marsh Pivot) at the University ... -
Development of an online planning tool for designing terrace layouts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A web-based conservation planning tool for terrace layouts was created by modifying a terrace location program (TERLOC), developed originally by Sudduth and Gregory (1982) and revised by Ghidey et al. (1992). Development ... -
Development of land-use map for Salt River basin using satellite imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The Salt River Basin in northeastern Missouri is the major water supply source for people in the region. There is a need to build a long term simulation and to validate the long term trend of pollutant concentrations in ... -
Evaluating removal of nutrients, volatile organic compounds, and nicotine by bioretention soil mixtures with biochar amendment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Urbanization results in reduced infiltration contributing to potential urban flooding and stormwater contaminants. Urban stormwater pollutants, including total suspended solids (TSS), nutrients, heavy metals, oil and grease ... -
Evaluation of conservation targeting indices on a claypan watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Kinetic energy flux associated wiht natural and simulated rainfall events and instrumentation used in the evaluation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)There have been many studies that focus on the evaluation of the raindrop-size distribution and the parameters that are based upon this distribution, ranging from radar reflectivity to kinetic energy flux at the surface. ... -
Modeling the influence of climate and management practices on water quality in Goodwater Creek experimental watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The objective of this study was to determine relationships among weather, runoff, water quality, and best management practice (BMP) implementation in reducing atrazine losses in the 7,250-ha Goodwater Creek Experimental ... -
Predicting switchgrass biomass and ethanol potential on claypan soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) yield on claypan soils was evaluated with a crop growth model and for actual ethanol production potential. Specifically, Agricultural Land Management Alternatives with Numerical Assessment ... -
Switchgrass production in the central claypan region of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Severe soil erosion across the Central Claypan Region of Missouri has been correlated with low productivity as the depth to the claypan horizon ...
