Sustainable land management and Agriculture in Central Asia
This presentation was given during the "International Conference on Agricultural Transformation, Food Security and Nutrition in Central Asia".
Annual Cropland Mapping Using Reference Landsat Time Series—A Case Study in Central Asia
Mapping the spatial and temporal dynamics of cropland is an important prerequisite for regular crop condition monitoring, management of land and water resources, or tracing and understanding the environmental impacts of ...
Explaining farmers’ reluctance to adopt recommendations for sustainable ecosystem management
Introduction: The lower Syr Darya River Basin is an integral part of the Aral Sea Basin that is shared by four riparian countries. In Kazakhstan, the water is mainly used for agricultural purposes. However, the poor quality ...
International Cooperative Development of Techniques for Sustainability when Managing and Restoring Degraded Rangelands
In the United States 20% of privately owned rangelands are vulnerable to accelerated soil loss. Estimated annual costs of direct and indirect damage caused by soil erosion in the United States is $27 billion dollars. ...
Yield of chromosomally engineered durum wheat-Thinopyrum ponticum recombinant lines in a range of contrasting rain-fed environments
Introgressions of Thinopyrum ponticum 7AgL chromosome segments, spanning 23%, 28% and 40% of the distal end of durum wheat 7AL arm, were previously shown to contain multiple beneficial gene(s)/QTL for yield-related traits, ...
Mapping Cropland Abandonment in the Aral Sea Basin with MODIS Time Series
Cropland abandonment is globally widespread and has strong repercussions for regional
food security and the environment. Statistics suggest that one of the hotspots of abandoned cropland
is located in the drylands of the ...
Evaluation of Central Asian wheat germplasm for stripe rust resistance
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), is an important disease of winter wheat in Central Asia. Stripe rust races contain diverse virulence/avirulence patterns and change rapidly. Therefore the ...
Management Options for Increased Agricultural Productivity and Soil Improvement in Central Asia
This presentation was given during "The third Eurasian Food Security Conference “Agricultural and Food Systems Transformation for Better Food Security and Nutrition in Eurasia” Lomonosov Moscow State University, on October ...
Exacerbated grassland degradation and desertification in Central Asia during 2000–2014
Grassland degradation and 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 hardly separated ...
Promotion of high yield forage crops in shortfarming rotation system under sprinkler irrigation on marginal lands (Kazakhstan)
In southern-western part of Kazakhstan like in other Central Asian countries, intensive irrigation leads to soil erosion, loss of organic matter, salinization and waterlogging. The awareness of ...
