Socio-ecological Context Typology to Support Targeting and Upscaling of Sustainable Land Management Practices in Diverse Global Dryland
It is widely recognized that sustainable land management practices (SLM) are much
needed for improving land-based livelihoods of 2.5 billion people living in the dry areas across the
globe. Adoption and effectiveness of ...
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 ...
Geoinformatics and Genetic Resources under Changing Climate
Each species requires minimum/optimum area for its survival, evolution and gene exchange. Analysis of
habitat condition, function, composition, fragmentation, patchiness, interspersion and juxtaposition has an
impact on ...
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 ...
Satellite-based observation and modeling of grasslands and croplands in dry areas
Grasslands and croplands in dry areas (semi-arid and arid regions) are sensitive to changes in
climate and land use. Accurate and updated information of grasslands and croplands are
important for the studies of food security ...
Systems Approach to Link Big Socio-ecological Geo-data to Food Systems Sustainability
Rapid development of multi-dimensionally, multi-scale, timely updated socio-ecological geodata
presents an opportunity as potential information resource for supporting effective decisionmaking
of stakeholders involved with ...
Monitoring water use in agricultural fields of Saudi Arabia
With growing population, urbanization and irrigated agriculture, water shortages are increasing in arid
regions. In 2012, freshwater consumption for the agricultural sector in Saudi Arabia was estimated at
86%. Accurate ...
Agro-Geoinformatics for Nourishing Drylands: A shift in paradigm from landscape to farmscape for ensuring food security and better livelihoods
Geospatial technologies are becoming an integral part of solving the food security equation
from an integrated research and development, aid better intervention and delivery programs,
policy, and outreach. A recent advance ...
