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, ... -
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 ... -
Streambank erosion and risk assessment of contaminant transport in Missouri watersheds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Sedimentation and herbicide are significant water quality concerns in claypan watersheds. Two separate watershed-scale studies were conducted in the Central Claypan Region of northeastern Missouri. One project investigated ...
