Methodology For Assessing and Monitoring Rangeland Vegetation in Central Asia
The research objectives has two folds aiming at:
1. Fine tuning/developing a toolkit for monitoring and assessing rangeland vegetation at the
landscape level using up-to-date technologies; and
2. Carrying out an integrated ...
The Influence of Geo-morphological Landscape Patterns on Vegetation Characteristics in Central Asia
Site, season and aspects have significant impact on the vegetation characteristics (species composition, cover, and biomass production). Using modern technology for assessing and monitoring rangeland conditions is advantageous.
Using GPS collars at the Karakalpakstan site. Presentation of Work.
The (brief) presentation describes the use of GPS collars in Karakalpakstan action site to monitor the movement of representative grazing Karakul sheep. The GPS collars were deployed on 20 August 2015 on the sheep.
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 ...
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 ...
Progress Report: Increase livestock productivity to improve availability of animal proteins to the households and increased revenues and wellbeing of livestock keepers
Meat, milk, fiber and pelts from small ruminants are key income sources for agro-pastoral
communities living in mountainous regions in Tajikistan or on marginal salt-affected land in
Uzbekistan. As their main source of ...
Methodology for assessing and monitoring rangeland vegetation in Central Asia
Rangelands Central Asian countries occupy a total area of approximately 260×106 hm2, occupying 65% of the total land area of these five countries (Gintzburger, 2004). These rangelands are considered as the largest ...
Methodology for assessing rangeland vegetation in the action sites Karakalpakstan and Tajikistan
The tool describes an Innovative method that is being tested for field sampling of rangeland vegetation. The method provides a way of measuring biomass with less plant destruction and as a result less labor and costs. The ...
Raw data for rangeland vegetation sampling of Central Asia rangelands
Rangeland vegetation sampling was conducted during the spring of 2015 in Karakalpakstan and Tajikistan sites. using transect sampling to understand the grazing impact in different land tenure regimes. The following collected ...
Rangelands of Central Asia: challenges and opportunities.
Rangelands of Central Asia (referring to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in this study), the largest contiguous area of grazed land in the world, serve as an important source of livelihood ...
