Impact of Climate Parameters on Spring Wheat Yield in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The impacts of climate change in agriculture is a growing concern. The agricultural sector plays a significant role in North Dakota's (ND) economy, and spring wheat contributes most to the economy. This study focuses on ... -
Impact of Nitrogen and Rhizobial Seed Inoculants on Soybean Aphid (Aphis Glycines Matsumura) Densities
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Soybeans are able to obtain nitrogen from two different sources, nitrogen found in the soil (e.g. from fertilizers) and biologically fixed nitrogen (from symbiotic bacteria called rhizobia). Nitrogen source and degree of ... -
Impact of Rogun Dam on Downstream Uzbekistan Agriculture
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Strains among the states of Central Asia caused by overuse of the region’s scarce water resources have been increasing in recent years. This is especially true for the relations between Tajikistan, upstream, and Uzbekistan, ... -
Impact of Rogun Dam on Downstream Uzbekistan Agriculture
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Strains among the states of Central Asia caused by overuse of the region's scarce water resources have been increasing in recent years. This is especially true for the relations between Tajikistan, upstream, and Uzbekistan, ... -
The Impacts of Exotic Species on Native Bee Communities and Interactions in Novel Northern Great Plains Grasslands
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Human alterations to landscapes impose novel conditions on native plant and animal species. Exotic plants are among these changes and are presently common and prevalent across Northern Great Plains (NGP) grasslands. Their ... -
Improving Data and Understanding of Public Water Supply in North Dakota Through Municipal and Industrial Water-Use Information Specifically Focusing on the Bakken Region 2000-2018
(North Dakota State University, 2021)The Bakken oil boom 2005–2015 has dominated conversations on North Dakota’s water use in the past two decades. This study focused on municipal and industrial water use across 83 different use categories for the Bakken and ... -
Improving nitrogen management, including the use of cover crops, in North Dakota cropping systems
(North Dakota State University, 2024)Crop production in North Dakota covers nearly 64 million ha, playing a crucial role in the state’s economy. However, wide-spread agriculture also poses environmental risks resulting from soil erosion and loss of N to ground ... -
Improving North Dakota's Arboreta: Utilizing Living Museums to Their Greatest Capacity
(North Dakota State University, 2022)North Dakota has roughly 20 arboreta, though many of them are in decline. NDSU Extension developed an arboretum improvement project that included field visits, site inventories, and educational programming. North Dakota’s ... -
Incorporating Adaptive Management and Translational Ecology into the North Dakota Total Maximum Daily Load Program: A Case Study of the Fordville Dam Nutrient TMDL
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Translational ecology and adaptive management strategies were incorporated into the Fordville Dam Nutrient Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) case study to determine if these two techniques were compatible to the North Dakota ... -
Invasions in the Prairie Pothole Region: Addressing the Effects of Exotic Plants on Wetland and Grassland Ecosystems and Restoration Efforts
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Three wetland restoration methods: seeding, seeding + hay mulch, and seeding + hay mulch + vegetation plugs were compared via the plant community within a formerly cropped wetland in southeastern North Dakota. Arrangement ... -
The Investigation of Restoration Techniques for Two Degraded Rangeland Sites in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Vast areas of rangeland have been degraded or lost to row crop agriculture and urban development in the United States since European colonization. Two projects were undertaken to investigate strategies to improve diversity ... -
Management Influences on Plant Community Composition in the Prairie Pothole Region
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Remnant prairies in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) should serve as repositories of native plant species, yet disrupted ecological process, invasive species, potential nitrogen deposition, climate change, and numerous ... -
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 ... -
Multi-Disciplinary Review and Comparison of Project Management for Social Engagement Practices
(North Dakota State University, 2017)This paper explores the practices of natural resources management, community development, and public arts by comparing the integration of social engagement as part of project management. All three of these practices originate ... -
Multi-Scale Assessment of Factors Affecting Marshbird Density in the Northern Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Over the last two centuries >50% of North American wetlands have been drained for agricultural production. Consequently, wildlife that depend on wetlands are declining and are of high conservation concern. The Prairie ... -
Municipal Water Use and Dust Impacts on Soybeans
(North Dakota State University, 2017)As human extraction of earth’s natural resources continue to impact the surrounding environment, such effects are compounding and may affect the quantity and quality of other natural resources. Natural resources in ... -
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 ... -
Oil-Field Brine Impacts on Seed Germination and a Contemporary Remediation Technique for Contaminated Soils
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The growth of fossil fuel production in North Dakota has resulted in numerous releases of brine. Brine releases cause vegetation mortality as well as the deterioration of soil structural and edaphic properties. Little ... -
