Anthropogenic effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The maintenance of healthy forest ecosystems is critical to ensuring the sustainability of forest harvest activities. Forest soil health is a critical component of the knowledge required to manage a forest ecosystem; ...
Effects of prescribed fire on forest soil properties in the Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Prescribed fire is commonly applied to meet a variety of forest management objectives, including the restoration and maintenance of Oak (Quercus spp.) woodlands. In the Ozark Highlands, private landowners, conservation ...
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux in Ozark Highland forest soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux may differ among soils due to differences in parent material, biota, landscape position, climate, and degree of weathering. Within soils, soil solution chemistry changes seasonally ...
Characterization of soil organic matter under varying conservation management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This study examined the effects of three conservation management practices (i.e., no-till, grass vegetative filter strips (VFS) and agroforestry VFS) and four landscape positions (i.e., summit, shoulder, backslope and ...
Environmental implications of phosphate-based amendments in heavy metal contaminated alluvial soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Soil phosphorus pools and harvest effects on soil solution chemistry in the Missouri Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Forests ecosystems are governed by complex and dynamic nutrient cycles where soil is a major provider of nutrients essential for plant growth. Disturbances occurring in forested ecosystems (timber harvest, fire, and disease ...
Changes in selected soil quality indicators in forested soils following sawlog harvest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Soil microbial contribution to greenhouse gas efflux from a secondary forest in central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) vary with the interactions among physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soil and microclimate. Soil microorganisms are involved in almost all soil processes, and are also ...
Forest harvest effects on soil chemical properties and nutrient concentrations in Ozark Highland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Mixed hardwood systems of the Missouri Ozark Forest Ecosystem Project are harvested using clearcutting (CC) and single-tree selection (STS) regeneration methods. This work indicates possible effects of regeneration method ...
Risk and stability of phosphate-immobilized lead in contaminated urban soil and mining sites in the Jasper County Superfund Site
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In situ application of soluble phosphates and organic matter is considered to be a cost effective remediation technique for immobilizing lead (Pb) and other heavy metals and reducing health and ecological risks associated ...
Adsorption of isoxaflutole degradates to hydrous aluminum and iron oxides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Isoxaflutole (IXF) is a pre-emergence herbicide that is rapidly transformed to a more stable and soluble diketonitrile degradate (DKN) after field ...
Sorption and transport of veterinary antibiotics in agroforestry buffer, grass buffer, and cropland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Understanding sorption and transport of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) is important for assessing the risk of VAs reaching water resources. Vegetative buffer strips (VBS) may be a useful tool for mitigating veterinary ...
Effects of veterinary antibiotics on atrazine degradation in soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The release of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in the environment is concerning because VAs have been linked to the development of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and may influence nutrient cycling and agrochemical degradation. ...
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 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 ...
