Multifunctional perennial landscape: small farm design in the Upper Sangamon River Watershed
… Production for Small Farmers in the Upper Sangamon River Watershed (USRW)”. Spearheaded by Dr. Sarah Taylor Lovell, Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois, this long-term project pursues multiple objectives which seek to understand the complex social and ecological relationships …

Sex, Diversity, and Differentiation Within and Between Populations of an Aquatic Hyphomycete
… to energy flow and nutrient spiraling in rivers by making energy and fixed carbon in autumn-shed leaves available to aquatic invertebrates. These fungi are haploid, predominantly or exclusively asexual, have restricted dispersal abilities, and experience yearly population bottlenecks as …

Identifying targets for multifunctional perennial cropping systems implementation through a landowner adoption preferences survey and a spatial suitability analysis
… an agricultural landowner survey in the Upper Sangamon River Watershed (USRW) in Illinois, USA. We identified adoption preferences among landowners in conjunction with socio-demographic characteristics that would facilitate targeted implementation. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and …

Suspended sediment supply dominated by channel processes in a low-gradient agricultural watershed, Wildcat Slough, Fisher, IL, USA
Nutrient loading in rivers in the Upper Sangamon River Basin has led to concentrations of nitrate that exceed EPA water quality standards and concentrations of phosphorous that promote algal growth. Nitrogen and phosphorous are primarily introduced by fertilization and transported via leaching …

Analysis of sediment dynamics in intensively managed landscapes
… the environmental quality of streams and rivers. Human activity has significantly altered the hydrological and biogeochemical cycles within terrestrial and aquatic environments through agricultural intensification, tile drainage installation, and urban development. The study of …

Hardware and software considerations for monocular SLAM in a riverine environment
A monocular SLAM algorithm for use on rivers is proposed and compared to existing methods using a newly created SLAM dataset. The proposed algorithm uses a single camera and inertial measurements to estimate the location of a canoe and a map of a river simultaneously using an extended Kalman …

Spatial and temporal variability in floodplain sedimentation during individual hydrologic events on a lowland, meandering river: Allerton Park, Monticello, Illinois
… five flood events on the floodplain of the Sangamon River at Allerton Park in Monticello, Illinois. The five events observed had peak discharges of 40-250 m3/s. During each event, deposition was found to occur most frequently and with greatest magnitude in and adjacent to floodplain …

Fair allocation and trading of surface water rights under the Riparian Doctrine
… five allocation programs are performed for the Sangamon River system in Illinois under two economic scenarios and various reservoir capacities over a 30-year period. The simulation results show that the ProFair program dominates all other programs in fairness, generating the highest equity index …

The design and implementation of multifunctional woody polycultures: Landowner preferences and pathways to improve agricultural conservation
… with 15 rural landowners within the Upper Sangamon River Watershed of Central Illinois to identify the design preferences, information needs, and adoption potential of MWPs, as well as identify pathways for improving agricultural conservation programs. Landowner-specific designs were …

Understanding the relationship between agricultural nutrients NPS, land management, and climate using distributed hydrologic models
… different types of N NPS patterns in the Upper Sangamon River Basin (USRB), a highly cultivated watershed, under wet and dry future climate projections were compared when implementing different land management practices at the field-level scale. Finally, the risks of HAB occurrence and the …

Diagnostic analysis of runoff partitioning at the catchment scale
… applied to two basins in Oklahoma, the Illinois River basin near Tahlequah and Blue River basin near Blue. After validating the model against observed streamflow data, the model is used as a tool to diagnose the controlling factors underlying the temporal and spatial pattern of runoff …
