“…There is growing evidence today that the decrease of pastoral mobility since 1991 has had serious environmental and economic consequences. It caused degradation of rangeland by the over-use of near-village pastures and under-use of remote summer pastures (7,28,29,30), and led to a decrease in livestock productivity (31).…”

The authors analyse the nature of policy development to understand the reasons for institutional change in pasture management in Kyrgyzstan. They use the concept of intentional institutional change, emphasising its incremental nature and the important relationship between belief systems and institutions. The paper explores the relationship between the perceptions and beliefs of policy-makers, the policy interventions they undertake, and the consequences for pastoral migration and practices. The study reveals the gap between the intentions behind such policies and their outcomes, the persistence and importance of pastoral migration, and the learning process that policy-makers undergo. This close look at the development and institutionalisation of new dominant societal beliefs highlights the possible direction of the future development of formal pastoral institutions in Central Asia. Policy-makers should respond better to changes in pastoral mobility and the unsustainable increase in intensified use of natural pastures. Policy-makers must also respond to the growth in conflict over pasture use by becoming more aware of the need for inter-sectoral cooperation. The authors argue that a crucial test for the new formal institutions still lies ahead. The key questions are: whether policy-makers and pasture users can eventually come to hold the same beliefs about what is needed in their society, and what new effective institutions will emerge to define the future of pastoralism in Central Asia.

“…Основыва-ясь на концепции жизнеобеспечения-"способности, ак-тивы (запасы, ресурсы, права и доступ) и деятельность, требуемые в целях обеспечения средств к существова-нию" (Chambers and Conway 1991: 6)-в исследованиях подчеркивалось разнообразие стратегий жизнеобеспе-чения (de Haan and Zoomers 2003;Sabates-Wheeler 2007). Они часто включали в себя как сельскохозяйственную деятельность (Shigaeva et al 2007), так и несельскохо-зяйственную деятельность, такую как малооборотную розничную торговлю (von der Dunk and Schmidt 2010) или трудовую миграцию (Schmidt and Sagynbekova 2008;Thieme 2008;Schoch et al 2010). Настоящее разнообразие стратегий и реакций, описанных в этих исследованиях, выявляет неравные возможности домохозяйств (Sen 1989) в мобилизации ресурсов, необходимых для управ-ления внешними эффектами и поддержания устойчиво-го жизнеобеспечения.…”

“…For the mountainous sub-region, all variables related to lagged temperature and lagged peak precipitation were found to affect vegetation dynamics in contrast to the central and northern sub-regions. The LULC factor also had a significant impact, likely due to the fragmented landscapes and heterogeneous land use patterns typical for mountainous areas [46]. For the central sub-region, peak temperature was also an important factor along with lagged peak precipitation.…”

Abstract:Currently there is a lack of quantitative information regarding the driving factors of vegetation dynamics in post-Soviet Central Asia. Insufficient knowledge also exists concerning vegetation variability across sub-humid to arid climatic gradients as well as vegetation response to different land uses, from natural rangelands to intensively irrigated croplands. In this study, we analyzed the environmental drivers of vegetation dynamics in five Central Asian countries by coupling key vegetation parameter "overall greenness" derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI time series data, with its possible factors across various management and climatic gradients. We developed nine generalized least-squares random effect (GLS-RE) models to analyze the relative impact of environmental factors on vegetation dynamics. The obtained results quantitatively indicated the extensive control of climatic factors on managed and unmanaged vegetation cover across Central Asia. The most diverse vegetation dynamics response to climatic variables was observed for "intensively managed irrigated croplands". Almost no differences in response to these variables were detected for managed non-irrigated vegetation and unmanaged (natural) vegetation across all countries. Natural vegetation and rainfed non-irrigated crop dynamics were principally associated with temperature and precipitation parameters. Variables related to temperature had the greatest relative effect on irrigated croplands and on vegetation cover within the mountainous zone. Further research should focus on incorporating the socio-economic factors discussed here in a similar analysis.
