Analysis of Current Conditions and Future Needs of the Public Water Supply System in Dili, East Timor
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This research focuses on the public water supply system in East Timor’s capital, Dili. Through this research the performance of the current public water supply system is evaluated, shortages in system capacity and operation ...
Grassland Birds Community Dynamics, Resource Selection, and Nest Survival on Mixed-Grass Prairie Grazed by Native Colonial and Domestic Herbivores
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Investigators surveyed avian and vegetation composition on- and off- black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus; hereafter prairie dog) colonies to gain greater insight into community dynamics of grassland passerines. ...
Groundwater Quality Vulnerability Assessment in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
In North Dakota, arsenic and nitrate are two major groundwater contaminants. These contaminants originate from either natural geologic or anthropogenic sources. Differences in geology, hydrology, geochemistry, and chemical ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Plant Community Composition of Douglas Creek Training Area, North Dakota Army National Guard: 1999-2015
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
A vegetation monitoring study was conducted from 1999 to 2015 at Douglas Creek Military Reservation (DCMR), Garrison in McLean County, North Dakota to assess how climatic and military training disturbance affects plant ...
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 ...
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 ...
Change in Reference Condition Wetlands and Road Dust Impacts on Spider Mites
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Increased disturbance from agriculture and the changing climate in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North Dakota may cause shifts in vegetation on wetland systems as well as increases in spider mite populations on ...
