Climate change is one of the major challenges for agricultural producers worldwide. In Central Asian countries,
climate-driven irrigation water variability is a major source of risk. Future projections indicate even ...
Assessing the Financial and Economic Viability of Water User Associations and Canal Management Organizations in Ferghana Valley countries of Central Asia
The financial viability of a water user association is fundamentally dependent on the
financial viability of the irrigated agriculture it supports. The mission of a water user
association might be described as securing a ...
Conversion Factors to Estimate Soil Salinity Based on Electrical Conductivity for Soils in Khorezm Region, Uzbekistan
This paper compares different procedures for soil salinity analyses to determine
electrical conductivity: saturated paste extract (ECe), xed soil:water
ratio extracts EC1:1 and EC1:5, and soil solution paste prepared with ...
Irrigation Extension Development in Central Asia:Experience from Water Productivity Improvement Project of Ferghana Valley
Extension is vital to the development of irrigated agriculture especially in Central
Asian countries, where countries transformed from planed to market economies after
independence. These transitions also influenced to ...
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 ...
Identification of potential areas for out-scaling sustainable land management options in West Asia, North Africa, and Central Asia
Water scarcity and land degradation are among the
most important factors affecting agricultural production and
sustainability in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region and
in Central Asia (CA). Various sustainable ...
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 ...
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 ...
Land Tenure, climate change and livestock mobility in Central and Southern Asian Grasslands
the conference paper describes the current effects of climate change on Central and Southern Asia Grasslands, present status of tenure and livestock mobility and explores the future effects of CC and potential mitigation ...
