Abstract This article presents the results of monitoring agroclimatic resources in the main grain-producing adjacent regions of Russia and Kazakhstan for the period from 1976 to 2024. The monitoring is carried out on the basis of the Climate–Soil–Yield simulation system using surface air temperature and total precipitation with a monthly resolution. The estimates are obtained…

Comparing climate risk across Russian regions
Abstract Climate risks pose a threat to the economy and the society, making their accurate assessment crucial for effective adaptation strategies. However, such estimates are complicated due to incomplete data on the potential risk-related damages. In this study, we apply a simplified heuristic approach using the hazard-exposure-vulnerability framework to assess climate risks in Russia. We…
Climate and carrots
Abstract: Purpose: to analyze the prospects of using the drip irrigation method for carrot growing and the scientific justification for its improvement. Discussion. Carrots are a vegetable crop necessary for a healthy human diet. Irrigation is an important aspect of the agricultural sector, which affects the yield of vegetable crops, including carrots. In modern conditions…
Highway to bottom sediment – heavy metals in the Russian Far East waters
Heavy metal pollution in Peter the Great Bay and Lake Khanka affects both biological organisms and accumulating in bottom sediments (BS) of both freshwater and seawater. Russian chemists ecided to find out more about the impact on the surrounding ecology by analysing each heavy metal phase, how it appears, what it does and where it…
Cottoning onto warmer farming in Central Asia #climate
Researchers from the Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory, Saint Petersburg have assessed future climate change impacts on agriculture in the Central Asian republics. The analysis looks at the consequences of global warming for the main branches of agriculture in Central Asia, such as cotton, wheat and barley by the middle of 21st century. They found that…
