Understanding Escherichia coli and Water Quality in Stormwater Retention Ponds and Detention Basins in Fargo as Part of the Red River Watershed
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Little is known about the spatial and temporal changes in water quality and E. coli throughout stormwater systems. The objectives of this study are to: 1) assess surface water within detention basins and retention ponds ... -
Understanding Water Quality, Vegetation Establishment, and Stakeholder Success for The Fargo Project: A Multi-Stakeholder Led Community-Based Green Infrastructure Project.
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The Fargo Project is a dry detention basin that holds stormwater drained from urbanized and impervious areas that serves as a component of a greater stormwater infrastructure network. The project goals were to design a ... -
Using Lidar Derived Information for Predicting Beaver Dam Site Selection at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Characterizing features that influence beaver (Castor Canadensis) to select a site to construct a dam may have important implications for managing damage to select stands of bottomland hardwood forest by beaver activity. ... -
Using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Technology to Assess Bird-Habitat Relationships: A Case Study from the Northwoods of Maine
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that quantifies the travel time of photons emitted in pulses from a LiDAR instrument to travel to and reflect back from objects. Knowing the travel ... -
Utilizing Annual Forages in a Single and Dual Crop System for Late-Season Grazing in Southcentral North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Utilizing annual forages to extend the grazing season can improve late-season forage production and quality, cow performance, and soil health; while providing a cost-effective alternative to drylot feeding. A four-year ... -
Validation of Image Based Thermal Sensing Technology for Glyphosate Resistant Weed Identification
(North Dakota State University, 2020)From 2019 to 2020, greenhouse and field research was conducted at North Dakota State University to investigate the canopy temperature response of waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis), kochia (Kochia scoparia), common ragweed ... -
Vegetation and Fertilization Effects on Water Soluble Organic Carbon at Three North Dakota Sites
(North Dakota State University, 2012)This study was initiated to better understand the role of WSOC in the process of sequestering carbon in mixed species grassland as compared to cropland systems. Previously established mixed-species grassland plot sites ... -
Visitors' values of natural resources and cultural resources on Dakota Prairie National Grasslands
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Managing Dakota Prairie National Grasslands requires an understanding of visitor relationships to nature and culture. As national grasslands continue to draw visitors for recreation, relaxation, and wildlife observation ... -
Water Quality Observations of a Headwater Watershed in the Red River Basin and Value of an Interdisciplinary Majors Capstone Course in the Natural Resource Sciences
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Understanding how change and adaptive management plays a role in natural resource sciences is key to preforming well in the field, as well as evaluating effects of management changes. Therefore, two studies were conducted: ... -
Weed Control Effects on Native Species, Soil Seedbank Change, and Biofuel Production
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Aphthona spp. flea beetles were released in the Little Missouri National Grasslands (LMNG) in western North Dakota in 1999 to control leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.). The changes in soil seed bank composition and leafy ... -
Wetland Assessment and Nutrient Dynamics in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Wetlands provide a variety of services and functions. Studies have highlighted the importance of wetlands in water purification, groundwater replenishment, flood control, sediment and nutrient retention and export, ... -
Wetland Restoration Techniques and Associated Costs in Southeastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Degraded wetlands are a common occurrence throughout the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States. Many restoration attempts have been conducted to restore these unique ecosystems to their previous conditions. However, ... -
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 ... -
Winter Wheat Management for Improving Soil Quality and Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) concentrations in the atmosphere have greatly increased in recent times. Intensive agricultural practices, combustion of fossil fuels, deforestation, and wetland drainage have ... -
The Yellowstone River Waterfowl Hunting Closure in Eastern Montana: Evaluation of Private Landowner Attitudes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Wildlife managers now hypothesize the limiting factor regarding waterfowl hunting opportunity and goose harvest in the lower Yellowstone River Valley is hunter access rather than waterfowl abundance. This study used a ...
