Nitrogen Mineralization Dynamics of Post Harvest Crop Residue in No-Till Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
In North Dakota, adoption of conservation tillage practices has resulted in an accumulation of crop residue remaining on the soil surface. North Dakota producers receive a nitrogen credit for long-term no-till but due to ...
Taphonomic, Taxonomic, and Behavioral Diversity of Wormworld Fossil Assemblages from Ediacaran Units of the Western United States
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The western United States Deep Spring and Wood Canyon formations contain a variety of late Ediacaran fossils, representing the enigmatic Ediacara biota and a metazoan worm-like fauna. The latter, dubbed “Wormworld”, is ...
Evolutionary and Ecological Processes in Conservation and Preservation of Plant Adaptive Potential
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Anthropogenetic disturbances, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, overexploitation, and climate change have diminished population sizes of many species, increasing risks of population extirpation or species extinction. ...
Graphene Oxide Supported Metal Oxide Nanohybrids for Aqueous Arsenic Removal
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a major public health concern affecting more than 200 million people globally. Iron(Fe)-based adsorbents though promoted for aqueous arsenic removal because of their low cost and ...
Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Response to Shifts in Hydroclimatic Variability and Ecohydrological Conditions in Prairie-Pothole Wetlands: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Ecosystem degradation and subsequent biodiversity loss has plagued freshwater environments globally. Wetland ecosystems, such as the depressional wetlands found in the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, have been ...
Holocene Postglacial Fluvial Processes and Landforms in Low Relief Landscapes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Postglacial rivers are part of the relatively young low-relief landscape system left behind by glaciers. Over time, postglacial rivers are susceptible to both minor and major channel planform changes as the Earth and its ...
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 ...
Ecological Complexity of Non-Native Species Impacts in Desert Aquatic Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Without an adequate understanding of complex interactions between native and non-native species, management of invasive species can result in unforeseen detrimental impacts. I used both field and laboratory experiments to ...
The Applicability of Physiology for Conservation and Management Purposes: A Case-Study Using the Breeding Season of the Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius Phoeniceus)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Physiology has the potential to play a unique and important role in conservation and management practices by helping identify the mechanistic responses of populations to environmental changes, and providing physiological ...
Cell Entrapment for Mitigating Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors Treating Domestic Wastewater
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been a process of choice for wastewater treatment and reuse because of several advantages over conventional process (activated sludge) including superior quality effluent, less biomass ...
