“…This sensitivity brings high vulnerability of food production and natural resources in the region to variations of the climate. Even marginally dry years have resulted in substantial losses of agricultural productions, devastating local economy, and threatening countries' finances and societal stability (e.g., Broka et al., 2016). Partially motivated by this vulnerability, many recent studies have examined the variations of the region's climate of the past with the intention to gain an understanding of the climate and apply the knowledge to develop strategies for sustainable food production and management of local resources and ecosystems (e.g., Chen et al., 2015; Hu et al., 2014, 2016; Xu et al., 2015; Yao et al., 2022).…”

Climate variation in Central Asia is examined using changes of climate classification to obtain geographically specific information of the variation across the region. Major results show the northward expansion of desert climate by over 100 km in mid‐latitudes of the region since the 1980s. In the meantime, all types of climates in the region have increased temperatures. In mountainous areas, previous cold climate is replaced by warmer and also wetter climate. These changes could have largely resulted in the fast retreat of glaciers and the temporary rise of groundwater and the water levels of lakes in the drainage areas in recent decades. Because different climate types are associated with specific flora and fauna, the shifts of the climate types in locations have elevated the potential to initiate new feedbacks of the ecological systems to the climate and complicate its variation.

“…Con estos cambios se dio lugar a una civilización más moderna que culmina con la producción masificada, los complejos industriales y las corporaciones transnacionales (Roel, 1998). Desde la perspectiva macroeconómica, la evolución del sector agropecuario podía generar crecimiento económico mediante el fortalecimiento de la capacidad productiva de las empresas; pese a ello, los sectores se enfrentaban a riesgos en su producción provocados por el clima, plagas, shocks exógenos, fluctuaciones en precios de insumos y productos agrícolas, lo que generó pérdidas a agricultores, ganaderos y empresas manufactureras (Broka et al, 2016). Finalmente, con la cuarta Revolución Industrial -conocida como Industria 4.0-se desarrollan, a inicios del siglo XX, transformaciones aceleradas con alcance global, que manejan nuevas tecnologías para mejorar la productividad; no obstante, sus efectos resultan ser tanto positivos como negativos: por un lado, se denotan avances en la economía y tecnología, pero, por otro, se origina un incremento de la inequidad social, barreras tarifarias, migraciones de zonas urbanas a rurales, falta de adaptación a nuevos métodos, mayor inversión, etc.…”

El presente estudio analiza el impacto de las crisis macroeconómicas en el sector agropecuario del Ecuador. La metodología emplea una regresión econométrica vectorial que permite identificar los canales de trasmisión de las crisis financieras y económicas hacia el desempeño del sector, en el periodo 2008-2020. En este contexto, se plantea dos posibles escenarios para entender la evolución del sector en los próximos años. Los principales resultados indican que el PIB nacional, las exportaciones y el financiamiento en el largo plazo impactan directamente en el crecimiento del sector agropecuario, mientras que, en el corto plazo tan solo el PIB y el comercio internacional influyen negativamente en el sector. Por otra parte, solo el financiamiento presenta una relación directa. Finalmente, los escenarios planteados no arrojan un pronóstico muy alentador dado las constantes variaciones abruptas que impiden su continua recuperación, determinando la sensibilidad del sector ante fallos en el sistema económico.

“…This broad agroecological area consists of forest-steppe, steppe, dry steppe, semi-desert and desert. It is highly vulnerable to droughts (Broka et al, 2016). The steppe zone occupies 1.10 million km 2 or about 28% of Kazakhstan and is subdivided into 3 subzones: the moderately dry and warm zone of feather grass and various other grasses, the moderately dry and warm zone of tipchakovo and feather grass, and the dry, moderately hot wood and feather grass zone.…”

A three-year-long field experiment was conducted in a continuous grazing system with a variable stocking rate to evaluate effects of increasing NPK fertilization rates (Control- N0P0K0, N60P40K30, and N80P50K40) in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) on hay production, some yield components and crude protein concentration in the dry steppe zone of Eastern Kazakhstan. At harvesting, hay production (fresh and dry weight), seeding rate (SER), shrub diameter (SHD), height of generative shoots (HGS), length of root leaves (LRL), weight per bush (WEB), percentage of leaves and vegetative shoots (LVS) and crude protein concentration of crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) were determined. NPK fertilizer treatments increased hay production, SER, SHD, HGS, LRL, WEB, LVS and crude protein concentration. The results showed that crested wheatgrass at the N80P50K40 treatments achieved a higher hay production and some yield components of crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) in the dry steppe zone of Eastern Kazakhstan than other NPK treatment and control.
