Contents:
From the Contents: Land and Water Resources of Central Asia, their Utilisation and Ecological Status -- Soil Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan: Current Status, Problems and Solutions -- Long-Term Monitoring and Water Resource Management of the Republic of Kazakhstan -- Trends in Agriculture of Central Asia and Implications for Rangelands and Croplands.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: The book aims to initiate a sustainable use of land and water resources in Central Asia by the transfer of scientific methods. It deals with the most advanced methods worldwide for  better monitoring and management of water and land resources. We offer an array of methods of measuring, assessing, forecasting, utilizing and controling processes in agricultural landscapes. These are laboratory and field measurement methods, methods of resource evaluation, functional mapping and risk assessment, and remote sensing methods for monitoring and modeling large areas. The book contains methods and results of data analysis and ecosystem modeling, of bioremediation of soil and water, field monitoring of soils, and methods and technologies for optimizing land use systems as well. The chapter authors are inventors and advocators of novel transferrable methods. The book starts with an analysis of the current state of water and land resources. Finally concrete proposals for the applicability of novel methods are given.
