Stagnate summers : climate induced changes in physical mixing parameters in Missouri reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Lakes and reservoirs are important environmental sentinels for climate change. As air temperatures rise so do the temperatures of these water bodies affecting their physical, chemical, and biological properties. Being used ... -
Burping wetlands : quantifying greenhouse gas ebullition rates across a range of sediment types and characteristics, water quality variables, and land use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Aquatic ecosystems are a source of greenhouse gases (GHG) to the atmosphere. One pathway of this GHG release is ebullition, or bubbling, from aquatic sediments. The contribution of ebullition is often underestimated in ... -
Freezing plants : exploring the effects of freeze thaw cycles on macrophyte phosphorus release
(University of Missouri--Columbia., 2017)Every year following the cold winter freeze comes the spring thaw, and with it comes an influx of nutrients that can cause eutrophication problems; even in high nutrient systems. We identified a potential source of nutrients ... -
The relationship between aerators and microcystin : a comparison between two ponds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Increasing concentrations of nutrients in aquatic ecosystems are resulting more instances of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs). Agricultural and nutrient runoff has contributed greatly to this phenomenon. ... -
The impact nitrogenous additions have on microcystin production by cyanobacteria in a glyphosate treated reservoir
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms are negatively impacting lakes globally. These bloom events can produce toxins that can have harmful implications for the wildlife and humans that interact with them. One of these toxins ... -
Does allochthonous disscolved organic matter increase during summer algal bloom conditions in an agricultural reservoir?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) are increasing in frequency worldwide. CyanoHABs can produce toxins (e.g., microcystin), which can be a contaminant in recreational and drinking water reservoirs. Reservoirs ...
