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 ...
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 ...
Modeling irrigated cotton with shallow groundwater in the Aral Sea Basin of Uzbekistan: I. Water dynamics
In Khorezm, a region located in the Aral Sea basin of Uzbekistan, water use for irrigation of predominantly cotton is high whereas water use efficiency is low. To quantify the seasonal water and salt balance, water ...
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 ...
Comparison and sensitivity of measurement techniques for spatial distribution of soil salinity
In Khorezm, a district of Uzbekistan situated in the Aral Sea Basin, soil
salinization is an important driver of soil degradation in irrigated agriculture. The main
objective of this study was to identify techniques that ...
The assessment of spatial distribution of soil salinity risk using neural network
Soil salinity in the Aral Sea Basin is one
of the major limiting factors of sustainable crop
production. Leaching of the salts before planting
season is usually a prerequisite for crop establishment
and predetermined water ...
Regional-scale monitoring of cropland intensity and productivity with multi-source satellite image time series
In the context of growing populations and limited resources, the sustainable intensification of agricultural production is of great importance to achieve food security. As the need to support management at a range of spatial ...
Allelic variations and differential expressions detected at quantitative trait loci for salt stress tolerance in wheat
The increasing salinization of agricultural lands is a threat to
global wheat production. Understanding of the mechanistic
basis of salt tolerance (ST) is essential for developing breeding
and selection strategies that ...
