    Exemplary valuation of natural resource assets and ecosystem services - Cold Winter Deserts of Central Asia 2022
    Also available in:
    Cold winter deserts (CWD) are biomes having annual precipitation below 100 mm, which occurs mainly in winter and part of spring of the year. The extreme temperatures vary between -45°C in winter and +50°C in summer. Many of these deserts are inland areas separated from oceanic moisture by mountain ranges. An example of this is cold winter desert lying somewhere between Northern Iran and Mongolia through Central Asia, with its enormous area of land masses overlying mainly (95%) on Central Asian countries. Despite harsh climatic conditions that prevail over the CWD of Central Asia, there are numerous benefits derived from these deserts that are crucial for livelihoods of the population living there. These benefits are derived in form of various ecosystem services from the CWD. This study was conducted under the Central Asia Desert Initiative (CADI) project, aimed at conservation and adaptive use of cold winter deserts in Central Asia. The objective of the study in Uzbekistan was to assess the value of natural resource assets and ecosystem services (ES) to proximate communities to create awareness of desert ecosystem’s importance (i.e., how natural resources and ES services or lack of them impact the quality of life for community stakeholders, particularly those reliant upon forest and rangelands for their livelihoods).
