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 ...
Ammonia Oxidizing Archaea in Engineered Water and Wastewater Systems: Presence, Activity and Relationship to Heavy Metal Inhibition, and Disinfectants
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) have been found as a key player in ammonia oxidation. Over the past decade, AOA have been shown in some cases to outnumber ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in marine, terrestrial and aquatic ...
Essays on Land Conversion, Crop Acreage Response, and Adoption of Conservation Practices: Evidence from the Dakota's
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This research is composed of three essays. It highlights the driving factors of land conversion and crop acreage response focusing on North Dakota agriculture and estimates the benefits of conservation land measures at ...
Crop Acreage Response Modeling in North Dakota and Greater Midwest
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Our research consists of two papers. First paper focus on the trend of North Dakota (ND) crop acreage changes and include economic factors (expected prices of crops, input price, crop yield, revenue of crops) and climate ...
Examination of the Period of Preparation for Breeding in Male and Female Songbirds
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
In virtually all species, reproduction must be precisely timed to coordinate breeding and rearing of offspring with favorable conditions. It is imperative for individuals to time the highest energetic cost to themselves ...
Processing Trade-offs in a Cellulosic Biorefinery
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Commercial scale cellulosic biorefineries face significant challenges to produce low-cost fermentable sugar from biomass. Biorefinery processing steps are interrelated and trade-offs between process parameters impact the ...
Quasi-empirical and Spatio-Temporal Vulnerability Modeling of Environmental Risks Posed to a Watershed
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Water quality assessment is crucial in investigating impairment within agricultural watersheds. Seasonal and spatial variations on land can directly affect the adjoining riverine systems. Studies have revealed that ...
