Information

The project is aimed at solving the urgent problem of ecological and economic assessment of agricultural land degradation in the arid zone of Tuva. For the first time in the post-soviet period, new data on the state of soil and vegetation cover of agricultural land will be obtained on a national scale, taking into account climatic conditions, the socio-economic situation of the Republic of Tuva. At the level of individual farms of kozhuuns and in the whole of the Republic of Tuva on the basis of available data, and the results of new studies of the dynamics of soil properties, vegetation by chronorage, the analysis of statistical data, cartographic materials will assess: the extent and degree of degradation of agricultural land, the cost of implementation of activities and costs associated with inaction, the impact of land degrada-tion on various socio-economic issues. According to Rosstat, the Republic of Tuva is considered the poorest region in Russia, where poverty by 2018 amounted to 41.5% of the population. The novelty of the project lies in the level of generalization and analysis, in combination of old (1960-1970) and new (1990-2010, 2019-2021) data on the Republic of Tuva with the use of modern digital technologies for the development of local capacity of agri-cultural land, sustainable soil management, taking into account the eco-nomic feasibility of land use strategy in the region.
