    Assessment of the spatiotemporal changes of saline-alkaline soils using GIS and, geospatial technologies methods: a community case study
    (Estonian University of Life Sciences, 2025) Markosyan, A.O.; Zadayan, M.H.; Azgaldyan, G.; Baghdasaryan, S.K.; Kroyan, S.Z.; Markosyan, S.A.
    Currently, in many countries, soil salinization is recognized as one of the primary land degradation processes, particularly in arid regions, where it significantly limits soil fertility and worsens ecological conditions. The widespread occurrence of solonetzic soils, including soda-type saline-alkaline soils, along with the intensification of salinization under changing climatic conditions and anthropogenic pressure, highlights the urgent need to update data on their distribution and expansion trends. This study, conducted between 2020 and 2022, presents the results of a survey of 600 hectares of saline soils in the Mrgashat settlement, Armavir Region, Republic of Armenia (center coordinates: 44° 5′ 14.36″ E, 40° 7′ 14.57″ N). A quantitative and qualitative assessment of the current state was carried out using GIS and remote sensing data, alongside soil sampling from six designated points. Newly salinized areas over the past 10 years were mapped, and the dynamics and direction of salinization were analyzed. The validity of the findings was corroborated by field survey data and relevant statistical indicators. The results indicate a clear trend of spatial and temporal expansion of salinized soils. Over the last two decades, the total salinized area has increased by 54 hectares, representing a 10.1% growth.

    Influence of anthropogenic factors on humus in Phaeozems of Ashotsk land cadastral district
    (Estonian University of Life Sciences, 2026) Kroyan, S.Z.; Baghdasaryan, S.K.; Markosyan, S.A.; Kroyan, N.S.; Zadayan, M.H.; Markosyan, A.O.
    The study was conducted on Phaeozems of the Ashotsk land cadastral region (ALCR), Republic of Armenia. Field investigations compared virgin and long-term cultivated soil variants. Total humus content was determined using the Tyurin method, and the qualitative composition of humus was analyzed according to the Kononova and Belchikova procedure. The results demonstrated that in the plough horizon of cultivated soils, the content and total stock of humic acids, fulvic acids, and non-hydrolyzable residue decreased by 18%, 15.6%, and 17%, respectively. Under prolonged agricultural use, both quantitative and qualitative humus characteristics changed considerably. Compared with virgin soils, total humus content declined by approximately 32%, while humic and fulvic acid fractions decreased by 16–18%. These findings confirm progressive deterioration of humus in cultivated Phaeozems and highlight the necessity of fertility restoration measures. Management practices that may be considered include the application of organic fertilizers (55–65 t ha-1) combined with mineral fertilizers in prescribed doses (N90, P100, K60) and the implementation of minimum or zero tillage within adaptive landscape farming systems.

    Influence of fertilization on yield, nutritional and qualitative characteristics of potato tubers under different agro-climatic conditions in Armenia
    (Estonian University of Life Sciences, 2025) Markosyan, A.O.; Zadayan, M.H.; Baghdasaryan, S.K.; Kroyan, S.Z.; Markosyan, S.A.; Gasparyan, G.H.
    This study investigates the effects of mineral (N150P120K120, ‘Control-Treatment 1’) and organo-mineral fertilization (with 20 t ha⁻¹ of farmyard manure (FYM), ‘Treatment 2’, and 40 t ha⁻¹ of FYM, ‘Treatment 3’) on the yield, nutritional value, and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers under different agro-climatic conditions in Armenia. Field trials were conducted in two contrasting regions: Dasht village (Ararat Plain, 850 m a.s.l.) with cultivated irrigated meadow-fulvous soils, and Vahan village (Gegharkunik Highlands, 2000 m a.s.l.) with mountain black soils (chernozems). The research measured tuber yield, dry matter, starch, vitamin C, and protein content over three years (2019–2021). Application of T3 (NPK + 40 t ha⁻¹ FYM) significantly improved all measured indicators. Yield increased by up to 28%, dry matter by 10.8%, starch by 12.0%, vitamin C by 13.4%, and protein content by 14.4%. Climate conditions also had a significant impact on tuber productivity and composition. In chernozems, compared to irrigated meadow-fulvous soils, yield increased by 15.1–21.6%, and the content of dry matter, starch, and vitamin C increased by 3.1–8.7%. However, protein content was higher in the irrigated meadow-fulvous soils by 3.4–5.2%. These results demonstrate the importance of fertilization strategies tailored to specific agroecological zones and climatic trends, particularly in the context of climate change adaptation.
