Peer Review - 2007Scientific
research proposals that the LCCMR recommends for funding are peer reviewed. ( Peer
review may be done prior to submitting a proposal to LCCMR for funding, it may
be done by a partnering organization that is also funding the research project
or the LCCMR may conduct the peer review. When
LCCMR conducts the peer review, a group of experts in the specific research
areas are asked to review the proposals and to provide written comments. A
meeting is convened of the peer review experts to discuss the proposal and
refine their comments. The proposers are invited to the meeting to answer
specific questions and to discuss their proposal. Of
the projects recommended for funding by the LCCMR in 2007, it has been
determined that six scientific research projects will be peer reviewed through
the LCCMR process. Several other scientific research projects that are
recommended for funding in 2007 have already been appropriately peer reviewed. 2007 LCCMR Peer Review Panel Meeting Wednesday March 28, 2007 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Innovative Springshed Mapping for Trout Stream
Management (SN 17)
Innovative
identification and delineation of supply areas (springsheds) for springs serving
as coldwater sources for modern and historic trout streams and assessing impacts
on them from land and water development. Dr. E. Calvin Alexander, Jr. University of Minnesota Geology

"Innovative Springshed Mapping for Trout Stream Management"
(SN 17) Link to research addendum "Innovative Springshed Mapping for Trout Stream Management" (SN 17) Demonstrating Benefits of Conservation
Grasslands on Water Quality
(SN 18)
The
long-term benefits of conservation grasslands (e.g., CREP) in reducing sediment
and nutrient loads will be demonstrated by quantitative sediment analysis of
five lakes in small watersheds with different grassland acreages. Dr. James Almendinger Science Museum of Minnesota 16910 152nd St N Marine on St.

Exudates (SN 36)
Management
of reed canary grass is ineffective. Nutrient enrichment doesn't explain its
invasion. A plant-soil feedback may contribute to its invasiveness. We propose
to identify and neutralize the inhibitory root exudates. Dr. Bradley Cook Minnesota State University-Mankato 242 Trafton South

of Emerging Contaminants to Upper Mississippi Walleye (SN

methodologies to improve riverine and riparian environmental monitoring that
will reduce monitoring costs. If proven feasible, they can easily be applied to
