Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMonitoring of Vegetation Degradation in various Landscapes of the Moyinkum Desert, KazakhstanOmirzhan Taukebayev, Bektemir Osmonali, Salavat Duisenbayev et al.This study is devoted to assessing the degree of vegetation degradation in various landscapes of the Moyinkum Desert, taking into account the taxonomic diversity of flora, the structure of phytocenoses, and the agrochemical condition of soils. The aim of the work was to identify areas with signs of disturbance and to analyse the factors determining degradation processes. It was established … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 17 Jul 2026 · 848 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigation of Vegetation Dynamics using Long-Term Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Time-SeriesTamara Bellone, Piero Boccardo, Francesca PerezProblem statement: The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is the most extensively used satellite-derived index of vegetation health and density. Since climate is one of the most important factors affecting vegetation condition, satellite-derived vegetation indexes have been often used to evaluate climatic and environmental changes at regional and global scale. The proposed study attempted to investigate the temporal vegetation dynamics … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,404 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Situation of Poplar Species in the Aral Sea Region of KazakhstanBaikenzheyeva Ainur, Kurmanbayev Rakhat, Toktaganova Gulzhas et al.The study was conducted in response to the deteriorating environmental conditions in the Aral Sea region of Kazakhstan, characterized by the degradation of natural ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and the disappearance of valuable tree species. Of particular importance is the investigation of the current status of populations of Populus pruinosa Schrenk and Populus diversifolia Schrenk, relic tree species of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2026 · 574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolluscicidal Activity of Ethanolic Dieffenbachia seguine (Dumb Cane) Leaf Extract Against Pomacea canaliculata (Golden Apple Snail)Alfredo V. Corpuz, Carmela M. Florentino, Ace Danielle C. Avero, Sherwin V. AlvaroThe golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata), an invasive species that originated in South America, has caused significant damage to rice plantations in Southeast Asia, notably the Philippines. Because of its voracious appetite for aquatic vegetation and quick reproduction rate, it poses a significant agricultural problem. Conventional control approaches, which mostly use chemical molluscicides, have increased environmental issues and threats to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethods for Growing Complete Feed for Livestock on the Forage Lands of West Kazakhstan in the Framework of Sustainable ManagementBeybit Nasiyev, Peizhi Yang, Azhar Latenova et al.Sustainable management of forage lands is critical for livestock productivity in the arid and semi-arid regions of West Kazakhstan, where pasture degradation and declining forage quality pose increasing challenges to agricultural sustainability. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different grazing methods on the vegetation condition, productivity, and nutritional quality of pastures in West Kazakhstan. Pasture vegetation was assessed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPasture Productivity Depending on the Method of Pasture use in the Steppe Zone of Northern KazakhstanBalzhan Akhylbekova, Nurlan Serekpayev, Adilbek Nogayev, Bakhytbek ZhumabekUnsystematic grazing of animals and continuous use of pastures leads to their degradation and, accordingly, to a shortage of pasture forage for the production of competitive environmentally friendly livestock products. The proportion of productive grasses in grass covers is decreasing; therefore, there is an urgent need to preserve valuable plant species in pasture grass, restore the productivity of natural vegetation … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2022 · 5,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of the Effects of Soil Salinity on the Growth and Development of Maize (Zea Mays L.) by using Sentinel-2 ImageryShakhislam Uzakbaevich Laiskhanov, Zhassulan Maratuly Smanov, Kulyash Duisenbaevna Kaimuldinova et al.Salinization of soil cover and the constant increase in their area have become one of the most pressing problems year after year for irrigated agriculture regions. The degradation processes caused by the salinity of soils negatively affect the growth and development of food crops. Therefore, this study focused on the effects of soil salinity in the midstream of the Syrdarya … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2022 · 6,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing the Fertility of Soils under Khaya ivorensis Plantation and Regenerated Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem statement: It is widely accepted that conversion of natural forest to other land use types leads to deterioration of soil fertility and increased soil compaction which consequently become degraded secondary forests. Degraded secondary forest or forestland is indicated by low in soil fertility and organic matter due to imbalance input and output from original vegetation. Forest plantation through planting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,509 accessesView PDFCite
