This book analyses climate change influences on rainfall erosivity
and soil erosion across Central Asia, provides an overview (past
and projections) on the Central Asian countries where projected
changes in rainfall erosivity and erosivity density are the
greatest, and discusses the potential impacts on the environment
across the region. This analysis is accomplished primarily using
the RUSLE model with past and future climate projections,
spatiotemporal variations of rainfall erosivity and soil erosion
based on WorldClim, and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase
5 (CMIP5) climate models (for Central Asia and separately
Kazakhstan). The relationship between precipitation characteristics
and erosion has been well established, but spatial and temporal
projections of future rainfall erosivity in a changing climate in
Central Asia have not been published significantly. Therefore,
assessing rainfall erosivity and its consequences can assist
specialists and researchers in achieving the best practices for
soil conservation. The result of this type of research is
all-encompassing, and may reflect normal variations in other parts
of the world (for example, the arid and semi-arid regions) and is
inherently limited to the Central Asian region.
