Socio-ecological Context Typology to Support Targeting and Upscaling of Sustainable Land Management Practices in Diverse Global Dryland
It is widely recognized that sustainable land management practices (SLM) are much
needed for improving land-based livelihoods of 2.5 billion people living in the dry areas across the
globe. Adoption and effectiveness of ...
Quantification of cropping pattern and productivity of agro-ecosystems in Central Asia
Agricultural production systems in Central Asia have been evolving in response to changes in climate, land use and policies. The cropping pattern and productivities of irrigated and rainfed agro-ecosystems as well as grazing ...
Geoinformatics and Genetic Resources under Changing Climate
Each species requires minimum/optimum area for its survival, evolution and gene exchange. Analysis of
habitat condition, function, composition, fragmentation, patchiness, interspersion and juxtaposition has an
impact on ...
Exacerbated degradation and desertification of grassland in Central Asia
Grassland desertification is a complex process, including both state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and
gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness dynamics). Existing studies generally did not separate the ...
Breeding for multiple disease and multiple gene resistance in barley
Combining genes for disease resistance is very difficult, as most breeding programs can only test for the diseases present at their breeding sites. In addition, pyramiding genes or developing multiple gene resistance is ...
Quantification of Land Degradation and Productivity of Agro-Ecosystems under Changing Climate and Land Use
Agro-ecosystems in dry areas are sensitive to changes in climate
and land use. The productivities of these agro-ecosystems are
highly variable in both spatial and temporal scales. Accurate and
up-to-date information on ...
Satellite-based observation and modeling of grasslands and croplands in dry areas
Grasslands and croplands in dry areas (semi-arid and arid regions) are sensitive to changes in
climate and land use. Accurate and updated information of grasslands and croplands are
important for the studies of food security ...
The Khanasser Valley Integrated Research Site - Progress Report 2006
Activities in 2006 focused on a Participatory Learning and Action Research ( PLAR) approach, continued analyses of the groundwater resources via a modelling approach and dialogue with national policy makers. Details of ...
Systems Approach to Link Big Socio-ecological Geo-data to Food Systems Sustainability
Rapid development of multi-dimensionally, multi-scale, timely updated socio-ecological geodata
presents an opportunity as potential information resource for supporting effective decisionmaking
of stakeholders involved with ...
