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 ...
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. ...
Transferability of Regional and Wetland Specific Assessment Methods for a Statewide Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The transferability and expansion of current wetland assessment methods to other wetland classes and ecoregions throughout the state of North Dakota is the primary goal of this research. During the growing season of 2011, ...
Wetland Restoration Techniques and Associated Costs in Southeastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)

Effects of Sediment Removal on Vegetation Communities in Prairie Pothole Wetlands in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The goal of this study was to assess effects of sediment removal on vegetation communities in Prairie Pothole wetlands in North Dakota to determine if this management technique is providing desired results to create ...
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 ...
Corn Stover Removal Effects on Irrigated Sandy Outwash Soils in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
