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 ...
Land Tenure, climate change and livestock mobility in Central and Southern Asian Grasslands
the conference paper describes the current effects of climate change on Central and Southern Asia Grasslands, present status of tenure and livestock mobility and explores the future effects of CC and potential mitigation ...
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 ...
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 ...
Remote sensing based assessment of the dynamics of crop productivity and spatial production pattern across the Fergana Valley, Central Asia
Agricultural production systems are a vital lifeline of the rural farming community in Central Asia. However, shrinking natural resource base, increased land degradation and severe irrigation water scarcity render current ...
Application of earth observation products for hydrological modeling of the Oum Er Rbia river basin
The increasing water demand over recent decades together with the climate change impacts on water resources lead to a growing shortage of water availability. Investigating and developing novel strategies to assess and ...
