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 ...
Groundwater Table Effects on Yield, Growth and Water Use of Canola (Brassica napus L.) Plant
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Lysimeter experimental studies were conducted in a greenhouse to investigate canola (Brassica Napus) plant water use, growth and yield parameters under three different water table depths of 30, 60, and 90 cm. Additionally, ...
Discrimination of Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) and Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria L.) Based on Field Spectral Data
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Leafy spurge and purple loosestrife are noxious weeds that displace native vegetation.
Herbicides are often applied to these weeds during flowering, making it ideal to identify them
early in the season. This paper evaluates ...
A Study of Prairie Reconstructions in the Eastern Dakotas
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Two studies of reconstruction processes in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) are presented. The first study is a retrospective study on United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) managed lands seeded with a high diversity ...
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 ...
Riparian Graminoid Species Responses and Productivity in Compromised Environmental and Soil Conditions
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Riparian buffers have been created as a sustainable and effective way to combat the harmful effects of excess nitrogen and soil salinity in riparian settings. The goal of this research was to determine what species will ...
A Study of the Relationship Between Plains Sharp-Tailed Grouse Nest Site Selection and Survival and Ecological Site Descriptions in the Northern Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Nest site selection and nesting success of plains sharp-tailed grouse were examined on the Grand River National Grassland in South Dakota during the nesting season from 2009-2012. We used conditional logistic regression ...
