Climate conditions play the most critical role, as they are currently shifting across Eurasia due to global climate trends. Due to these consequences, studying how infections spread over time and space in arid regions is highly important. These dry zones are the most dependent on climate conditions. We used Kazakhstan as a case study because its diverse landscapes range from arid to temperate zones. In this region, we examined two vector-borne tropical diseases: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and West Nile fever (WNF). We analyzed CCHF case data in Kazakhstan from its first emergence to the present day. For WNF, we evaluated the stage where the disease establishes itself in nature without human cases, as well as how different climate conditions influence the potential reach of both infections. We combined medical-geographical, biogeographical, and statistical methods with geographic information systems (GIS) to map the spread of both infections. We then evaluated the optimal climate conditions for the pathogens and vectors, identifying regional geographic patterns under current and future climate scenarios. Modeling the ecological niches of WNF vectors under two climate scenarios revealed the current and future ranges of the infection. This allowed us to identify the areas in Kazakhstan with the most favorable climate for the disease to establish itself. This work delivers original maps, summary tables of optimal bioclimatic parameters for the species involved in transmission, and projections showing how climate change will expand the potential ecological niches of WNF vectors. A significant expansion of both tropical fevers into the central and northern regions of the country is projected over the coming decades. The practical outcome of this work provides cartographic models of the distribution of these two poorly studied infections under various climate conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":44316,"journal":{"name":"Arid Ecosystems","volume":"16 2","pages":"248 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149098024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Volgograd oblast, 54.7% of the area is involved in the land use for agricultural crop production in the chestnut soil subzone of dry-steppe zone of the European Russia south. Of interest are the late successional stages of the natural phytocenoses that develop on long-term fallows in the conditions of coexistence with artificially established forests and exposure to their effect. These phytocenoses function in altered microclimate, which determines characteristics of the surrounding biota development. Geobotanical studies using geoinformation technologies provide the opportunity to establish phenological characteristics of plant communities’ development on long-term fallows in the anthropogenically transformed landscape. High density of arrangement of tilled fields practically leaves no possibility for steppe vegetation to develop in the favorable conditions. Habitats are displaced to lands unsuitable for tillage, slope lands of more than 8° (subject to the tractor’s passability) low in humus and fertility, and shallow in terms of soil conditions; to eroded sites; and slope areas adjacent to the network in the shallow groundwater zone with aggradational soils of gullies and arroyos; as well as to fallow land.

The use of indicators of heat and moisture exchange between the underlying surface and the atmosphere opens up new possibilities for studying the spatiotemporal distribution of droughts in various natural zones. The ratio of turbulent sensible to latent heat fluxes (Bowen ratio) serves as a key indicator: mean monthly values greater than one indicate the emergence of drought, while sustained long-term increases indicate enhanced aridity at both local and regional levels. Linear trends in monthly Bowen ratio values were used to assess the long-term drought trend. Abnormal values of the indicator, exceeding the standard deviation from the norm, were used as a criterion for a dry month. A drought catalogue with a monthly resolution (May–August) was compiled for the first time for the administrative regions of the Volga Region and Southern Cis-Urals for the period of 1950–2025. It enables us to analyze the long-term dynamics of spring–summer droughts. The results show that aridity in the study area has a well-defined seasonal dynamics, and droughts are characterized by grouping in space and with time. Since the early 1950s, moderate May and partly early summer droughts dominated. Between 1961 and 1990, their frequency decreased. The decade of 1991–2000 was marked by an increase in the frequency of May droughts in forest-steppe regions and partially in the steppe as compared to the previous ten-year periods.

This exerted a positive effect on the limnophilic complex of birds. In the 1950s, the authors of the article observed the proliferation of the European pelican (<i>Pelecanus onocrotalus</i> L.) and the Dalmatian pelican (<i>P. crispus</i> Bruch), the Caspian gull (<i>Larus cachinnans</i> Pall.), the spoonbill (<i>Platalea leucorodia</i> L.), and other species. Their numbers increased in the 1960s–1980s. The fresh water supply resulted in the development of livestock farming, the plowing of steppes, and anthropogenic desertification. In 1995, the Rostovskii Nature Reserve was established. The authors actively participated in its creation and zoological research. Bird watching was regularly performed. The aim of this article is to analyze changes in the number of colonial limnophilous species, nesting in the reserve, including the spoonbill, and the factors of their fluctuations. Data on the number of all nesting colonies of birds, the number and distribution of nests and eggs, relationships, etc. are given. The creation of the reserve exerted a positive impact on the avifauna. About 120 pairs of spoonbills bred here between 1995 and 1998. The modern complex of water birds differs greatly from that of the 20th century, which is associated with environmental changes. The increase in water mineralization in Lake Manych-Gudilo and other reservoirs led to the disappearance of reed beds, fish, and many other organisms and to a profound restructuring of aquatic and near-aquatic biota. Climate aridization of the 21st century exerted a strong impact on wildlife and resulted in the partial or complete drying up of reservoirs, a drop in the water level in the lake, and the disappearance of colonies of limnophilous birds, where the spoonbill bred (the last one disappeared in 2023). In recent decades, the lands around the reserve are actively used in agriculture. The wide use of pesticides outside the reserve with disregard for regulations and violations of the technology for their use negatively affects many animals. The most important defenders of polyspecies colonies from foxes and other predators that periodically penetrate there are represented by Caspian gull, which feeds in the fields. By consuming poisoned organisms, seagulls die themselves and poison their chicks with this food.

Using the developed methodology, long-term simulations of the water balance components of winter wheat crops grown under rainfed conditions by direct seeding technology were performed for a number of agrometeorological stations located in the steppe and forest-steppe territories of the grain belt of Russia for the historical period from 1977 to 2023 with a daily step. The obtained series of water regime characteristics enabled us to calculate the water security indicator for winter wheat crops, the risk of a moisture supply deficit, the coefficient of the efficient use of natural water resources by the agrocenosis, and the risk of crop failure due to insufficient water supply for crops. These parameters were compared with the corresponding values previously obtained for winter wheat fields cultivated by traditional moldboard plowing technology.</p>","PeriodicalId":44316,"journal":{"name":"Arid Ecosystems","volume":"16 2","pages":"258 - 269"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149098227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
