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 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 ... -
Past Flooding Events and a 400+ Year Ring-Width Chronology of Bur Oak Along The Red River in North Dakota and Minnesota
(North Dakota State University, 2021)A paleoflood record of the United States portion of the Red River of the North was created utilizing rings of bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa Michx.). Emphasis was placed on the flood of 1826. Samples were collected from ... -
Patch-Burn Grazing in Southwestern North Dakota: Assessing Above- and Belowground Rangeland Ecosystem Responses
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Rangelands are heterogeneous working landscapes capable of supporting livestock production and biodiversity conservation, and heterogeneity-based rangeland management balances the potentially opposing production and ... -
A Plan to Reduce Water Poverty in the Fertile Crescent: Getting from Science to Solutions.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Water scarcity is an ever-growing worldwide problem. In particular, most Fertile Crescent (FC) countries (i.e., Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine and Israel) face severe problems related to water scarcity. Growing ... -
