Consideration of the Environment in Water-Energy-Food Nexus Research in the Aral Sea Basin
The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus is a holistic concept used to understand the synergies and trade-offs of interdependent water, energy, and food resources. Despite its widespread use, this concept often overlooks environmental ...
Simulating Crop Productivity in a Triple Rotation in the Semi‑arid Area of the Aral Sea Basin
Farmers face increased risks and vulnerability to the effects of climate change and land degradation on crop production due to the lack of information and impact assessment. This is especially true in the Khorezm, an ...
Combining remote sensing and modeling approaches to assess soil salinity in irrigated areas of the Aral Sea Basin
Accurate assessment of the soil salinization is an important step for mitigation of agricultural land degradation. Remote sensing (RS) is widely used for salinity assessment, but knowledge on prediction precision is lacking. ...
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 ...
Conservation agriculture in Central Asia—What do we know and where do we go from here?
Rainfed and irrigated agricultural systems have supported livelihoods in the five Central Asian countries
(CAC) for millennia, but concerns for sustainability and efficient use of land and water resources are longstanding.
During ...
Conservation Agriculture for combating land degradation in Central Asia: a synthesis
This manuscript reviews scientific findings on agricultural systems, associated land
degradation and selected remedies such as Conservation Agricultural (CA) practices to
counterbalance these. In particular, this review ...
