The sharp-tailed grouse is a member of the family Phasianidae and comprises six subspecies. They are a medium sized bird which are pursued as game in most of its range. Sharp-tailed grouse are found in large areas of North ...
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 ...
Prediction of Freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms in Western Lake Erie Using Artificial Neural Network Modeling Techniques
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Blue-green algae are a major environmental concern in freshwater produce toxins and cause a wide range of problems including oxygen depletion, fish kills, harm or death to other aquatic organisms, and subsequent habitat ...
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 ...
Assessment of Wetland Water Quality and Plant Species Composition across the Rural, Peri-Urban, and Urban Gradient
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The Prairie Pothole Region, specifically eastern North Dakota, has experienced intense disturbance from agricultural demands and urban sprawl. This study assessed wetlands across the rural, peri-urban, and urban gradient ...
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 ...
Biological Capability of Selected Ecological Sites in the Western Dakotas
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Sharp-tailed grouse habitat on the Dakota Prairie Grasslands are assessed by habitat structure with the use of the Robel pole to measure visual obstruction readings (VOR). The purpose of this study was to determine 1) if ...
The Carbon Negative System: An Innovative System for Sustainable Community Development
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
It is understood civilization may be entering the Anthropocene Epoch, characterized by
human influences on Earth’s geology and environment. A growing body of literature highlights
the ecological concerns affiliated with ...
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 ...
Suppressing Canada Thistle Establishment with Native Seed Mixes and Resulting Cost Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) on conservation lands is costly and diminishes conservation objectives. This project was designed to control Canada thistle by spiking native seed mixtures. Spiking is where a native seed ...
