Lives in Cumbria, England; MSc degree Reading University. Since 1967 he has worked in countries of the Near SOURCES OF TRADITIONAL East, Central, West and South Asia. His work has been related to the rural sector, FODDER AND FORAGE including farming and pastoral systems, crop and livestock husbandry, land/ natural resource management and rural development. AND USAGE In Afghanistan, he has been involved in moving agriculture from emergency assistance to early recovery and longer Environmental Resilience term rural development and production. in Pastoral Systems in Afghanistan His working involvement in Afghanistan started in 1987 as the responsible desk officer with FAO based in Rome. In this capacity he visited Afghanistan several times between 1987 and 1988 during the Soviet occupation, on both sides of the lines of conflict. From 1989 to 1995 he managed the FAO’s Afghanistan Agricul- tural Rehabilitation Programme in the field. In 1995 he took up project manage- ment work in ex-Soviet Central Asia, being based in Kyrgyzstan until July 2001. During this time he returned to Afghanistan several times on short assign- ments for UNODC and the Aga Khan Group, working both in Taliban controlled provinces as well as those controlled by the Northern Alliance. He returned to Building Environmental Resilience Afghanistan in early 2002, as a special adviser to FAO. Since then, he has worked as a private consultant and continues to visit Afghanistan regularly on assign- SOURCES OF TRADITIONAL FODDER AND FORAGE USAGE ﺗﻘﻮﯾﺖ ﺗﺎب آوری ﻣﺤﯿﻂ زﯾﺴﺘﯽ ments for different agencies, including the UN (FAO & UNEP), INGOs, research bodies (AREU) and donors (EU, DFID etc). This included being attached to the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) as a special advisor in 2004/2005. Over the years he has taken a special interest in the traditional farming and pastoral systems practiced in different parts of Afghanistan and their contri- bution to the resilience of the rural population. He has traveled and worked in almost all parts of Afghanistan, gives regular talks to private and official audi- ences and has contributed to various papers, studies and reports. by Anthony Fitzherbert AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO AN INTRODUCTORY AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO SOURCES OF TRADITIONAL FODDER AND FORAGE AND USAGE Environmental Resilience in Pastoral Systems in Afghanistan by Anthony Fitzherbert Building Environmental Resilience ﺗﻘﻮﯾﺖ ﺗﺎب آوری ﻣﺤﯿﻂ زﯾﺴﺘﯽ this publication was funded and supported by: MAP 1 TOPOGRAPHY OF AFGHANISTAN MAP 2 ECO REGIONS OF AFGHANISTAN 4 5 CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .........................................................................................................................................10 FOREWORD ....................................................................................................................................................................................12 PREFACE ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE IN PASTORAL SYSTEMS: BACKGROUND TO THE TRADITIONAL USE OF FORAGE FODDER CROPS AND PLANTS IN AFGHANISTAN .....................................................................................................................................................................................13 HOW TO READ THIS GUIDE ..........................................................................................................................22 INTRODUCTION TO FODDER AND FORAGE DISTRIBUTION IN FARMING SYSTEMS IN AFGHANISTAN .....................................................................................................................................................................................24 1 GRAIN AND STRAW .............................................................................................................................................28 WHEAT (GRAIN AND STRAW) ...................................................................................................................................28 BARLEY (GRAIN, STRAW AND GREEN CROP) ......................................................................................33 MAIZE (GRAIN AND STRAW)......................................................................................................................................36 RICE (STRAW) ..............................................................................................................................................................................38 MILLET .................................................................................................................................................................................................40 6 2 CULTIVATED LEGUMES AND PULSES ............................................................................41 LUCERNE (ALFALFA) 41 Medicago sativa .............................................................................................................

The delimitation between the two tribes is elucidated, and the systematic positions of a number of genera associatedwith these groups, i.e. genera with either aberrant morphological characters or a debated systematic position, are clarified. Together, the Inuleae and Plucheeae form a monophyletic group in which the majority of genera of Inuleae s.str. form one clade, and all the taxa from the Plucheeae together with the genera Antiphiona, Calostephane, Geigeria, Ondetia, Pechuel-loeschea, Pegolettia,andIphionopsis from Inuleae s.str. form another. Members of the Plucheeae are nestedwith genera of the Inuleae s.str., andsupport for the Plucheeae clade is weak. Consequently, the latter cannot be maintained and the two groups are treated as one tribe, Inuleae, with the two subtribes Inulinae andPlucheinae.

Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 29 July 2020; Published: 4 August 2020 Abstract: Convergence is commonly caused by environmental filtering, severe climatic conditions and local disturbance. The basic aim of the present study was to understand the pattern of leaf traits across diverse desert plant species in a common garden, in addition to determining the effect of plant life forms (PLF), such as herb, shrub and subshrub, phylogeny and soil properties on leaf traits. Six leaf traits, namely carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), δ13C and leaf water potential (LWP) of 37 dominant desert plant species were investigated and analyzed. The C, N, K and δ13C concentrations in leaves of shrubs were found higher than herbs and subshrubs; however, P and LWP levels were higher in the leaves of subshrubs following herbs and shrubs. Moreover, leaf C showed a significant positive correlation with N and a negative correlation with δ13C. Leaf N exhibited a positive correlation with P. The relationship between soil and plant macro-elements was found generally insignificant but soil C and N exhibited a significant positive correlation with leaf P.

Salt-tolerant plants have been proposed as energy crops for cultivation on saline lands. Halophytes such as Salicornia europaea, Tripolium pannonicum, Crithmum maritimum and Chenopodium quinoa, among many other species, can be cultivated in saline lands, in coastal areas or for treating saline wastewater, and the biomass might be used for biogas production as an integrated process of biorefining. However, halophytes have different salt tolerance mechanisms, including compartmentalization of salt in the vacuole, leading to an increase of sodium in the plant tissues. The sodium content of halophytes may have an adverse effect on the anaerobic digestion process, which needs adjustments to achieve stable and efficient conversion of the halophytes into biogas. This review gives an overview of the specificities of halophytes that needs to be accounted for using their biomass as feedstocks for biogas plants in order to expand renewable energy production. First, the different physiological mechanisms of halophytes to grow under saline conditions are described, which lead to the characteristic composition of the Citation: Turcios, A.E.; Cayenne, A.; Uellendahl, H.; Papenbrock, J.

This paper investigates the dynamic evolution of the desert-oasis ecotone in the Tarim River Basin and predicts the near-future land- use change in the desert-oasis ecotone using the cellular automata–Markov (CA-Markov) model. Results indicate that the overall area of the desert-oasis ecotone shows a shrinking trend (from 67,642 km2 in 1990 to 46,613 km2 in 2015) and the land-use change within the desert-oasis ecotone is mainly manifested by the conversion of a large amount of forest and grass area into arable land.
