The Arid Regions of the World and Their Dynamics in Conditions of Modern Climatic Warming
TLDR
In this article, the authors evaluated changes occurring in the dynamics of arid lands and desertification processes with regard to the influence of the climatic factor on land aridization.Abstract:
The evaluation of changes occurring in the dynamics of arid lands and desertification processes is carried out with regard for the influence of the climatic factor on land aridization. The total land area and area of arid lands by continent, including the territory of Dagestan and the southern regions of Russia, are characterized for the first time. It is shown that the problem of arid lands and desertification has both scientific and socioeconomic meanings. In different arid and subarid zones, the origins and dynamic properties depend on region-wide conditions: in warm-temperate and subarid conditions, the processes of desertification are manifested with the leading role of the anthropogenic factor; in tropical and subtropical zones, they occur under the influence of the climatic factor.read more

TL;DR: The results showed that the substitution of chromosomes 3B, 5A, 7B and 7D had the greatest impact on the expression level of all tested genes, which indicates that they contain genetic elements that have a significant function in controlling tolerance to water deficits in the wheat genome.

Effects of drought stress on growth and development of wheat seedlings.
TL;DR: The drought-resistant ability of two cultivars wheat was different, and wheat AK58 might be stronger and could better adapt to drought stress compared with wheat XM13, which was little influenced by drought stress.

Denudational-aggradational patterns of the soil cover as the manifestations of pedolithogenesis.
TL;DR: In this paper, a taxonomy and nomenclature of eroded and aggradational soils is proposed, and examples of activation of denudation and concurrent accumulation of eroded sediments under the impact of agricultural and other technogenic loads are discussed.

Spatial variability of soils and salinization processes in the coastal zone of the Terek-Kuma Lowland
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have shown that the spatial variability of soils is most pronounced in the coastal zone of the Terek-Kuma Lowland subjected to periodical inundation, waterlogging, and drying because of fluctuations in the Caspian Sea level and arid climate.
