Impact of Artificial Aeration on Phytoplankton Growth and Seasonal Succession in a Eutrophic Lake
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Excessive phytoplankton growth caused by increased loadings of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is the most visible symptoms of eutrophication. At higher densities phytoplankton creates water quality problems such as offensive ...

Iron Nanoparticles and Biopolymers for Plant Nutrient Fortification
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Novel iron (Fe) cross-linked alginate (FCA) beads were used for aqueous phosphate removal. Batch experiments were conducted with the beads using three different concentrations of phosphate (5, 50 and 100 mg PO43--P/L) as ...
Morphological Differences and Diversity of Small Mammal Species
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Small mammals play important roles in ecosystems, but are often overlooked due to their small size and plentiful abundance. Two studies evaluated the morphological differences and diversity of small mammal species based ...
Understanding the Relationships between Plant Communities, Fish Communities, and Sediment Chemistry in Pristine Shallow Lake Wetlands, Red Lake, MN
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Over 90% wetland loss in many areas of the United States has triggered extreme concern for declining biodiversity and loss of ecosystem services. Studies assessing ecological characteristics of unaltered wetlands are ...
Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Bats in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Habitat use is a key component to understanding the conservation needs of species. While an array of quantitative analyses for studying fine-scale habitat use and selection have been developed, such methods have rarely ...
Seasonality of Some Arctic Alaskan Chironomids
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Arthropods, especially dipteran insects in the family Chironomidae (non-biting midges), are a primary prey resource for many vertebrate species on Alaska’s Arctic Coastal Plain. Midge-producing ponds on the ACP are ...
