Food Safety Culture: An Underlying Cause for Success and Failures of Food Safety Management Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Food Safety Culture (FSC) is an emerging behavior-based food-safety management concept. FSC has been linked as an underlying cause for food-safety management-system failures during foodborne outbreaks and recall investigations. ...
Managing Upland Vegetation as a Mitigation Strategy for Climate-Change Effects on Prairie-Pothole Wetlands
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Prairie-pothole-wetland water budgets are largely dependent on atmospheric interactions. Modeling of prairie-pothole wetlands has suggested that climate change may cause significant decreases to a wetland’s hydroperiod and ...
North Dakota Wetlands: Changes over Five Years in Prairie Pothole Wetlands and a Description of Vegetative and Soil Properties in a North Dakota Fen
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Wetlands provide ecosystem services such as water quality, flood attenuation, primary productivity, biodiversity, and provide habitats for wildlife. Land use conversions from natural to agricultural and urban landscapes ...

Prairie Response to Canada Thistle Infestation, and Native Forb Response to Aminocyclopyrachlor
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Prairie response to Canada thistle invasion was evaluated by comparison of forage yield between aminopyralid treated and non-treated infestations in North Dakota. In general, forage production was unaffected by Canada ...
Soil Warming and Drying and the Consquence to Crop Yields among Conservation Tillage Practices in Frigid Corn-Soybean Fields
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Concerns over delayed soil warming and drying have hindered adoption of conservation tillage practices in frigid environments. Our objectives were to evaluate the effects of chisel plow (CP), vertical tillage (VT), strip ...
Evaluating the Potential Utility of Drones to Deter Birds from Areas of Human-Wildlife Conflict
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Predator-prey dynamics shaped the evolution of morphological and behavioral adaptations that foraging animals use to detect and avoid predators. Wildlife managers can potentially exploit antipredator behavior when attempting ...
Wetlands of Camp Grafton South
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The Clean Water Act provided the basis for subsequent federal and state level wetland policies. Wetland regulations have significant implications for how wetland managers implement wetland restoration, creation, and ...
