National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan

Among the tested plant species are climacoptera, saltbushes, halostachys, tamarix, halocnemum, and kochia.

Special attention in the ongoing work is paid not only to the ability of plants to adapt to extreme conditions but also to their potential in restoring the biological functions of the ecosystem. Restoration of vegetation cover helps to stabilize the soil, reduce the level of dust storms, and improve microclimatic conditions in the region.

According to the results of the testing work, the plants most adapted to growth on saline lands will be identified and recommended for production. The data obtained will help to develop strategies to combat desertification and restore the ecosystem of the Aral region, which, in turn, will contribute to improving the quality of life of the local population.
