Ecological restoration of biodiversity and forage productivity of degraded pasture ecosystems in the Central Asian Desert

The low productivity of pastures and its sharp fluctuations in the desert regions Central Asia are due to natural-historical factors this natural zone. However, recent years, these shortcomings have been further aggravated as a result rapid growth population, continuous development industry transport areas, pressure anthropogenic man-made on vegetation soil is increasing from year year. This caused disruption structure normal functioning pasture ecosystems, their degradation. Mass degradation ecosystems arid occurs short time, which dictates need for environmental restoration destroyed lands. United Nations General Assembly, by resolution 73/284, adopted at 69th plenary meeting March 1, 2019, decided proclaim 2021-2030 "United Decade Restoration Degraded Ecosystems" called UN member states help strengthen political will, mobilize available resources, strengthening scientific studies ecosystem global, regional, national local levels. To restore lost biodiversity forage degraded Asian Karnabchul Desert, dominant species plants were sown following ratio: Haloxylon aphyllum (15 %), Halothamnus subaphyllus (20 Artemisia diffusa (50 %) Poa bulbosa %). conducted allow conclude that use zonal-typical life forms sowing mixtures (combinations) ensures formation multi-species multi-level with high stable over years desert. restored endowed property self-renewal self-maintenance structural functional organization. shrub-semi-shrub-herbaceous characteristic set inherent communities characterized perform conservation function
