Characterization of mohair and cashmere in regions of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan
tTo generate information on animal fiber quality traits in Central Asia, as a prelude to geneticimprovement, fiber samples of 495 cashmere goats from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and448 mohair goats from these two countries ...
Collective Action for Common Rangelands Improvement: A Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in Uzbekistan
Rangeland degradation endangers livelihoods of many rural communities in Uzbekistan. Despite the threat of land deterioration from climate change, there are many reasons that land users do not take action to prevent or ...
A GIS‑based approach for up‑scaling capillary rise from field to system level under soil–crop–groundwater mix
Capillary rise represents an often neglected fraction of the water budget that contributes to crop water demand in situations of shallow groundwater levels. Such a situation is typical in irrigated areas of Central Asia ...
Measuring the economic impact of climate change on agriculture: a Ricardian analysis of farmlands in Tajikistan
We apply the Ricardian approach to analyse the economic impact of climate change on agriculture using the 2007World Bank
Tajikistan Living Standards Survey. The study analyses data of 2557 farm households in 166 villages ...
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 ...
Beyond the state order? Second crop production in the Ferghana Valley, Uzbekistan
After independence in 1991, Uzbekistan introduced a policy on food security and consequently
reduced the irrigated area allocated to cotton and increased the area of winter wheat.
Shifting to winter wheat allowed farmers ...
Growth and Symbiotic Performance of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Cultivars under Saline Soil Conditions
The present study was conducted to investigate growth and symbiotic performance of selected salt tolerant chickpea (Cicer arietinum) cultivars under arid saline soil conditions. Plants were grown in saline soil of Syrdarya ...
Morphophysiological Adaptation Aspects of Different Haloxylon aphyllum (Chenopodiaceae) Genotypes Along a Salinity Gradient1
The seedlings of Haloxylon aphyllum from seeds with different genetic characteristics, which were
collected in three natural subpopulations along a soil salinity gradient, were investigated. The plants grown
under various ...
Impacts of climate change on farm income security in Central Asia: An integrated modeling approach
Increased risk due to global warming has already become embedded in agricultural decision making in
Central Asia and uncertainties are projected to increase even further. Agro-ecology and economies of
Central Asia are ...
Utilization of Marginal Water and Lands in the Zerafshan Rever Basin as Part of a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy
This paper considers how marginal mineralized waters and salt affected soils can contribute to land remediation and create additional nutrition values for livestock and agropastoral communities through cultivation of ...
