A Human Machine Hybrid Approach for Systematic Reviews and Maps in International Development and Social Impact Sectors
The international development and social impact evidence community is divided about the use of machine-centered approaches in carrying out systematic reviews and maps. While some researchers argue that machine-centered ...
Willingness to Pay for Irrigation Services in the Cold Winter Deserts of Uzbekistan
Irrigation facilities in the cold winter deserts (CWDs) of Uzbekistan are very traditional and poorly managed, resulting in low water use efficiency and low productivity. Improving the irrigation facilities in these deserts ...
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 ...
SKiM - A Systematic Review Protocol for Knowledge Management Interventions and Their Contributions to Agricultural Innovations
Agricultural innovations are necessary to reduce poverty and hunger, increase incomes, improve health and wellbeing of people in low- and middle-income countries. To sustain the improvements in poverty, hunger, incomes, ...
Redrawing Soil Salinity Innovation-Focused Stakeholder Interaction for Sustainable Land Management in Khorezm Province, Uzbekistan
Addressing soil salinity in irrigated drylands is tightly linked with water and land management decisions thus requiring interdisciplinary engagement. The salinity mapping approaches in Central Asia are undertaken through ...
Geostatistical monitoring of soil salinity in Uzbekistan by repeated EMI surveys
Soil salinization in the lower reaches of Amudarya is a constant threat. High seepage losses in irrigation water delivery
network and deteriorated drainage network result in rising groundwater tables. The shallowgroundwater
table ...
Modelling end‑of‑season soil salinity in irrigated agriculture through multi‑temporal optical remote sensing, environmental parameters, and in situ information
Accurate information of soil salinity levels enables for remediation actions in long-term operating irrigation systems with malfunctioning drainage and shallow groundwater (GW), as they are widespread throughout the Aral ...
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 ...
Influence of Grid Cell Size and Flow Routing Algorithm on Soil-Landform Modeling
Terrain parameters calculated from digital elevation models (DEM) have become increasingly important in
current spatially distributed models of earth surface processes. This paper investigated how the ability of upslope ...
Nitrous oxide emissions from a New Zealand cropped soil: tillage effects, spatial and seasonal variability
Agricultural practices are believed to be the major anthropogenic source of enhanced nitrous oxide (N2O) gas emissions in
New Zealand. Studies conducted in New Zealand generally suggest low N2O emission from pasture; ...
