Index-based insurance for income stabilization for smallholder farms in Central Asia
Climate change is one of the major challenges for agricultural producers worldwide. In Central Asian countries,
climate-driven irrigation water variability is a major source of risk. Future projections indicate even ...
Tracking the dynamics of paddy rice planting areas through analysis of time series Landsat images
Paddy rice agriculture affects food supply, climate, water, biodiversity, and ecosystems. It varies substantially over time and space, for example, continuous expansion in northeastern China and rapid loss in southern China ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mapping and monitoring of food legumes and dryland cereal production systems
Mapping and monitoring of the agricultural production systems on a regular interval provide important
spatial matrix on the status, trend, and options for effective intervention at multiple scales. The recent
advances in ...
Searching for adaptive traits in genetic resources – phenology based approach
Phenology is an important plant trait not only for assessing and forecasting food production but also for
searching in genebanks for adaptive traits. Among the phenological parameters we have been considering to
search for ...
Quantification of the Terrestrial Phytomass and Carbon in the Mountainous Forest Ecosystem Using Remote Sensing and in-Situ Observations
The aim of this research was to develop an understanding of how mountainous forests function in relation to forest phytomass and
carbon accumulation in the terrestrial vegetation pools which will help develop options for ...
