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 ...
Environmental factors of spatial distribution of soil salinity on flat irrigated terrain
Inefficient irrigation and the excessive use ofwater on agricultural land in the Aral Sea Basin over several decades
have led to saline soils. The main objective of this paper is to identify the environmental predictors ...
Soils and Soil Ecology in Khorezm
The current status of the agricultural soils in Khorezm is closely linked to their development influenced by past river flows and more recent human-managed irrigation and drainage practices. The initial relief of the ...
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 ...
Regional-scale monitoring of cropland intensity and productivity with multi-source satellite image time series
In the context of growing populations and limited resources, the sustainable intensification of agricultural production is of great importance to achieve food security. As the need to support management at a range of spatial ...
Comparison and sensitivity of measurement techniques for spatial distribution of soil salinity
In Khorezm, a district of Uzbekistan situated in the Aral Sea Basin, soil
salinization is an important driver of soil degradation in irrigated agriculture. The main
objective of this study was to identify techniques that ...
The assessment of spatial distribution of soil salinity risk using neural network
Soil salinity in the Aral Sea Basin is one
of the major limiting factors of sustainable crop
production. Leaching of the salts before planting
season is usually a prerequisite for crop establishment
and predetermined water ...
