Enhanced Forage and Bioenergy Production
Salinization is a global problem facing agricultural in arid and semi-arid regions with estimates of more than 1.5 million hectares of agricultural land lost yearly to salinity. Cultivating halophytes that remove salts ...
Agriculture for Marginal Lands in Central Asia
Due to freshwater scarcity, countries located in the Aral Sea and Caspian Sea Basins are struggling to grow enough food and animal feed to meet the need of a fast growing population. The situation is further exacerbated ...
Multipurpose Use of Marginal Lands and Water (crop diversification, agroforestry, pasture-livestock production system) under saline environment
Multipurpose Use of Marginal Lands and Water (crop diversification, agroforestry, pasture-livestock production system) under saline environment
Morphophysiological Adaptation Aspects of Different Haloxylon aphyllum (Chenopodiaceae) Genotypes Along a Salinity Gradient1
The seedlings of Haloxylon aphyllum from seeds with different genetic characteristics, which were
collected in three natural subpopulations along a soil salinity gradient, were investigated. The plants grown
under various ...
Utilization of Marginal Water and Lands in the Zerafshan Rever Basin as Part of a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
This paper considers how marginal mineralized waters and salt affected soils can contribute to land remediation and create additional nutrition values for livestock and agropastoral communities through cultivation of ...
Towards Sustainable Food Production for Marginal Lands in Aral and Caspian Sea Basins
The Aralo-Caspian lowlands, a prime example of marginal and saline environments, face serious threats to sustaining the ever-growing population and the livelihoods of local farmer groups. Water scarcity and variable climatic ...
Halophyte Biomass - a Promising Source of Renewable Energy
Halophytes are suggested as energy crops in arid saline lands. Anaerobic digestion of 7 halophytes collected in the
Kyzylkum desert (Uzbekistan) were studied in batch-mode tests in mesophilic (35°C) and thermophilic (55°C) ...
Innovations for sustainability and food security in arid and semiarid lands
Dryland salinity, deforestation, decreasing productivity of rangelands and reduction of soil
productivity are widespread phenomena and primary causes of desertification in the Central
Asian region. The government of ...
