Effect of vegetation introduction versus natural recovery on topsoil properties in the dried Aral Sea bed
Desiccation of the Aral Sea has resulted in the emergence of vast saline and flat terrains, jeopardizing human health and agricultural activities because of sand and dust storms. Vegetation, mainly indigenous Haloxylon species, has been introduced to ameliorate the soil. As a critical indicator of rehabilitation, the physicochemical properties of soil after the introduction of vegetation remain poorly understood. This study examined (1) the chang…
Spatiotemporal multi-index analysis of desertification in dry Afromontane forests of northern Ethiopia
Identifying potential vegetation establishment areas on the dried Aral Sea floor using satellite images
The Aral Sea was one of the largest lakes in the world, but almost 60,000 km 2 of the waterbody has dried up due to water withdrawal for irrigation. Afforestation on the desiccated seafloor could be important in preventing soil flation, dust storms, and negative impact on human health. In this study, we aimed to delineate potential vegetation establishment areas on the dried Aral Sea bed using remote‐sensed data in support of the decision‐making …
Object-based identification of vegetation cover decline in irrigated agro-ecosystems in Uzbekistan
Spatial targeting of land rehabilitation: A relational analysis of cropland productivity decline in arid Uzbekistan
Irrigated croplands in Central Asia are highly prone to land degradation due to their environmentally fragile physical settings and intensive agricultural practices. This study: (i) assesses the state of croplands in irrigated areas in northern Uzbekistan, based on the time series of MODIS-NDVI imagery; (ii) analyzes relationships between the identified trend of cropland degradation and soil quality, terrain characteristics, population density, a…
Impacts of innovative forestry land use on rural livelihood in a bimodal agricultural system in irrigated drylands
How attractive are short-term CDM forestations in arid regions? The case of irrigated croplands in Uzbekistan
This study analyzed the financial attractiveness of Clean Development Mechanism Afforestation and Reforestation (CDM A/R) in irrigated agricultural settings. The Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of CDM A/R were estimated by analyzing the case of Khorezm region in Uzbekistan, where a mixed-species tree plantation was established on marginal cropland. The dual purposes of carbon sequestration and production of fruits, leave…
