Passerine Use of Grasslands Managed With Two Grazing Regimes on the Missouri Coteau in North Dakota
… grazing systems have been implemented on the Missouri Coteau in central and northcentral North Dakota as part of the Prairie Pothole Joint Venture (PP N). The impacts these systems have on grassland passerines are not fully understood. Objectives for this study include determining relative …

Glacial geology of western Sheridan County, North Dakota
… lies within three physiographic districts; The Missouri Coteau district, the Sheyenne River district, and the Martin subdistrict. The Missouri Coteau district is characterized by thick drift, knob and kettle topography, and non-integrated drainage. The Sheyenne River district and Martin …

Glacial geology of northern Logan County, south-central North Dakota
… the southwest fifth is part of the glaciated Missouri Plateau that has integrated drainage and thin drift, and the rest is part of the Missouri Coteau, which has thick drift and nonintegrated drainage. Logan County is underlain by the Cretaceous Pierre Shale, undifferentiated Cretaceous sand, …

The geology of eastern Wells County, North Dakota
… years ago and was obstructed by the elevated Missouri Coteau which caused basal shearing and subsequent movement of subglacial drift into the ice. As this ice stagnated, the resultant drift cover impeded ablation and insulated the waters of superglacial lakes present on the surface of the …

Geology of McLean County, North Dakota
… eastern part of McLean County, part of the Missouri Coteau, is dominated by hilly topography on dead ice moraine with associated lake sediments, ice-contact gravel deposits, and areas of collapsed outwash. Much of the remainder of the county is part of the Coteau Slope and is characterized …

Paleoenvironmental reconstruction of late quaternary lacustrine sediments (Seibold Site) in southeastern North Dakota
<p>The Seibold Site on the Missouri Coteau in northwest Stutsman County, North Dakota, contains a late Quaternary lacustrine deposit with a spectaculary preserved and diverse biota; more than 150 species occur, of which the mollusks and fish are figured and discussed in detail in this study. The …

Biological Diversity of Natural and Created Wetlands in Three Physiographic Regions of South Dakota
… physiographic regions of South Dakota: Prairie Coteau (PC), Missouri Coteau (MC), and Southern Plateau (SP). Wetlands in the PC and MC of the prairie pothole region were sampled in 1995 and 1996. Wetlands in the SP of the Northern Great Plains region were sampled in 1996. Within each region, …

The glacial geology of eastern Sheridan County, North Dakota
… drift by the Lincoln Valley and moraine and the Missouri Coteau escarpment.</p> <p>Total ablation of the Grace City ice in this area must have occurred before formation of the Martin end moraine because large portions of outwash from an uncollapsed outwash plain were incorporated into the Martin …

Regrowth of Festuca hallii (Vasey Piper) and Stipa curtiseta [(A.S. Hitch.) Barkworth] following defoliation on a hummocky landscape in Central Saskatchewan
A 4-year study was conducted on the Missouri Coteau in the Mixed Grassland Ecoregion of Saskatchewan to determine the effects of mowing to a 7.5 cm stubble height on the growth of Festuca hallii (Vasey) Piper and Stipa curtiseta (A.S. Hitch.) Barkworth. Green standing crop (GSC), dead standing crop …

Non-game Birds in Relation to habitat Variation on South Dakota Wetlands
… the major portion of South Dakota excluding the Missouri River and its impoundments and the Black Hills. Two surveys were conducted, one in May and a second in June, in both 1975 and 1976. The distribution of 13 non-game species was analyzed by physiographic strata and wetland classification: …

Spatial and temporal variation In greenhouse gas flux as affected by mowing on grasslands of hummocky terrain In Saskatchewan
… in the Northern Mixedgrass Prairie of the Missouri Coteau near Macrorie, SK. April mowing and an unmowed control were imposed on six different landform elements. Carbon dioxide, CH4 and N2O were measured every 7-10 days from spring until fall for two years with closed, vented chambers. Soil …

Demographics of Eastern South Dakota Wetlands and Wetland Basins and Techniques for Estimating the Area and Number of Wetland Basins
… basins were also abundant on the northeastern Missouri Coteau and Altamount moraine of the Prairie Coteau. A total of 24,485 basins with naturally semipermanent water regimes occurred in eastern South Dakota and were most common on the Prairie Coteau. Basins classified with semipermanent water …

Invertebrate Egg and Plant Seed Banks in Natural, Restored, and Drained Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (USA) and Potential Effects of Sedimentation On Recolonization of Hydrophytes and Aquatic Invertebrates
… seasonal and semipermanent wetlands in the Missouri and Prairie Coteau, and Glaciated Plain physiographic regions of the PPR. My results demonstrated that previously farmed wetlands of all categories had greater mean (± SE) accretion (0.26 ± 0.02 cm yr·1) and mass accumulation (0.268 ± 0.027 …
