“…Large‐scale de‐intensification of agriculture‐related activities, together with the abandonment of lands used as pasture, was reported after the collapse of the Soviet Union, leading to a recovery of natural vegetation (de Beurs & Henebry, 2004; Horion et al, 2016). Specifically, over the case study, intensified livestock breeding and agriculture in the region between the 1970s and 1980s led to significant damage to vulnerable steppe ecosystems (Hölzel, Haub, Ingelfinger, Otte, & Pilipenko, 2002; Zonn, 1995). Also, inappropriate irrigation practices resulted in 1.03 million ha of land suffering from salinization (Zonn, 1995).…”

Also, inappropriate irrigation practices resulted in 1.03 million ha of land suffering from salinization (Zonn, 1995). These factors might explain the observed decreasing trend in functioning during the first half of the observation period.…”

“…Some of this new cropland had to be abandoned already at the end of the 1960s (Smelansky, Tishkov, 2012; see also Rachkovskaya, Bragina, 2012). Notorious example of desertification is the Kalmykian steppe (Zonn, 1995). The sensitive dry steppe ecosystems, traditionally used as pasture lands, were overexploited by excessive animal production, and fragile pastures were converted into cropland, which resulted "in the creation of Turczaninowia 22 (3): 5-71 2019Europe's first anthropogenic desert" (Saiko, 2001).…”

“…The phenomenon has been particularly rapid this century across broad areas of Argentina (e.g., Leó n and Aguiar 1985), Australia (Harrington et al 1984), central and southern Africa (van Vegten 1983), south-central Asia (Zonn 1995), and the deserts, grasslands, and savannas of North America (e.g., Buffington and Herbel 1965, Schlesinger et al 1990, Archer 1995. The two most commonly cited causes are fire suppression and increased grazing (e.g., Foster 1917, Walker et al 1981.…”
