Early-age genetic parameter estimates for diameter, height and volume in Pinus echinata mill. and implications for breeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
A first-generation shortleaf pine progeny test was established in 2002 at George O. White State Forest Nursery at Licking, Missouri as part of the Mark Twain National Forest breeding program in a randomized complete block ...
The effects of silvicultural treatments on oak height and basal diameter growth and oak regeneration abundance following a woody biomass removal during harvest in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Following a biomass harvest in the Missouri Ozarks, oak stump sprouts and seedling sprouts can significantly contribute to the presence of oaks in the future stand. A study to evaluate oak regeneration dynamics directly ...
U.S. consumer preferences for elderberry products
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Increased production of North American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) for its use in value-added secondary products is a prime example of the growth in non-traditional agroforestry product markets. Nonetheless, greater ...
Quantifying suspended sediment loading in a mid-Missouri urban watershed using laser particle diffraction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Midwestern streams and rivers of the United States are known for high suspended sediment concentrations (SSC), which is also one of the leading sources of water impairment. Unfortunately, there is a lack of understanding ...
Fuel management considerations in Caribbean pine forests of the mountain pine ridge of Belize, Central America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Situated within the Maya Mountains of Central America, the Mountain Pine Ridge (MPR) ecosystem encompasses approximately 76,000ha (107,000 acres) within the country of Belize. Dominated by Caribbean pine (Pinus caribaea), ...
Quantifying riparian canopy energy attenuation and stream temperature using an energy balance approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Forested riparian buffers play an important role in modulating stream water quality, including temperature. Few studies have quantified the relationship between stream temperature and canopy cover in the climatologically ...
Silvopasture's effect on growth and development of white and black oaks in an intensively managed upland central hardwood forest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Silvopasture is a practice that integrates elements of forest management, pasture management and livestock husbandry in a mutually beneficial manner ...
A multi-configuration evaluation of the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) in a mixed land use watershed in the central U.S.A.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Distributed watershed hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) models are ubiquitous tools for watershed management. Despite advancements, there remain impediments for end-users. This study presents a practical framework for use ...
Quantifying error in vegetation mapping
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Understanding the current distribution and structure of forest vegetation is important for designing forest management plans and prioritizing restoration at landscape scales. This project provides information on Random ...
Factors influencing upland oak advance reproduction in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Successful oak stand regeneration requires an abundance of well developed advance reproduction. Past studies have found that oak reproduction varies on upland landscapes by inferred measures of nutrient and water supply ...
