Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 709 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollection and Processing of Medicinal Raw Materials from Some Rare Plants in the Forest-Steppe Zone of Northern KazakhstanMarat Tynykulov, Svetlana Derbush, Marina Kuznetsova et al.Rare endemic plants of the forest-steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan, including Adonis vernalis, Adonis wolgensis, Pulsatilla patens, and Pulsatilla multifida, represent valuable medicinal resources whose sustainable utilization requires optimized harvesting, processing, and conservation strategies. This study evaluated the effects of drying conditions, environmental factors, extraction techniques, and biotechnological approaches on the yield and quality of bioactive compounds from these species. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2026 · 1,595 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Machine Learning Based Mobile and Web Crop Recommendation System for Precision Farming in WardhaAishwarya Kadu, KTV ReddyAgricultural productivity is crucial for economic growth of a nation, especially for countries like India which is highly dependent on agriculture. This study addresses the need for cutting-edge technology to enhance crop productivity by proposing a Mobile/Web-based precision farming system. Leveraging Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, the proposed system recommends optimal crops based on several factors such as environmental parameters (Nitrogen … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 20 Mar 2026 · 1,660 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Implementation of Effective Schemes for the Use of Mineral Fertilizers in the Forest-Steppe Zone of the North Kazakhstan RegionZh. A. Nokusheva, E. Ye. Kantarbayeva, M. B. Ormanbetov et al.Nitrogen fertilizers in liquid form have become the most common ones in recent years. Since North Kazakhstan is located in a zone of risky farming, liquid fertilizers are a very productive solution. The purpose of the study was to develop and evaluate the implementation of effective schemes for the use of mineral fertilizers in the forest-steppe zone of the North … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 5 Jun 2023 · 5,297 accessesView PDF Cite
