Thorough knowledge of hydrochemical characteristics and trace element concentrations in surface waters is crucial for protection of this resource, especially in arid regions. Uzbekistan lies in central, arid Central Asia, and is experiencing severe water scarcity as a consequence of warming climate and accelerated human impacts. Fifty-five surface water samples were collected from the Amu Darya Basin of Uzbekistan (ADBU) and measured for relevant variables, to determine hydrochemical characteristics and evaluate water quality. River water samples from the middle reach and Amu Darya Delta (ADD) were dominantly HCO3–Ca and SO4–Ca·Mg types, respectively, whereas water samples collected near the former shoreline and sewage outlets in the ADD were predominantly Cl–Ca·Mg and Cl–Na types, consistent with the distribution of sites that display high concentrations of trace elements and are seriously affected by human activities. Principal component analysis indicated that Pb and Cd in surface waters of the ADBU had industrial origins. Local agricultural activities are thought to have contributed to the concentrations of NO3, Zn, Ni, Hg, and Mn, through pesticide and fertilizer applications, and concentrations of Cu, Cr, As, and Co are controlled by mixed natural and anthropogenic sources. Water quality and health risk assessments indicated that unsuitable drinking waters are distributed mainly near the former shoreline and sewage outlets in the ADD, making human health risks in these areas high.

There has been considerable international study on the etiology of rising mental disorders, such as ADHD, in human populations. As glyphosate is the most commonly used herbicide in the world, we sought to test the hypothesis that glyphosate use in agriculture may be a contributing environmental factor to the increase in healthcare utilization among individuals with diagnosed ADHD. State estimates for glyphosate use and nitrogen fertilizer use were obtained from the USGS. We queried the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project net (HCUPNET) for state-level hospitalization discharge diagnosis data on all patients for all-listed ADHD cases from 2007 to 2010. The least squares dummy variable (LSDV) method and within the method using two-way fixed effects was used to elucidate the relationship between glyphosate use and all-listed ADHD hospital discharge diagnoses. A 1-kg increase in glyphosate use in one year positively predicts state-level all-listed ADHD discharge diagnoses the following year (coefficient = 5.54E-08, p<.01). A study of the effects of urbanization on the relationship between glyphosate use and ADHD indicates that the relationship is marginally significantly positive in urban U.S. counties (p<.025). Furthermore, total glyphosate use is strongly associated with total farm use of nitrogen fertilizers from 1992 to 2006 (p<.001). Glyphosate use is a significant predictor of state healthcare utilization for ADHD, with the effect concentrated in urban U.S. counties. We draw upon the econometric results to propose unique and exploratory mechanisms, borrowing principles from soil and atmospheric sciences, for how glyphosate-based herbicides may be contributing to the rise of ADHD in all populations.

Crop productivity and soil fertility in arid area are influenced by tillage and crop rotation management. A field experiment was conducted during 2007-2010 at farmers’ field located in Jizzakh region, Uzbekistan. The experiments consisted of three rotations: i) cotton-wheat-fallow (farmers' practice) ii) cotton-wheat-soybean and iii) cotton-wheat-maize with two tillage treatments: i) conventional tillage (CT) and ii) conservation tillage. The results revealed that the wheat and cotton grain yield were increased by the conservation tillage treatment. Crop residues retention and planting legumes such as soybean significantly enhanced the seed cotton yield and wheat grain. Conservation tillage in cotton-wheat crop rotation system with inclusion of soybean resulted the growth of cotton yield by 370 kg ha-1 and wheat grain 350 kg ha-1 than by same crops under conventional tillage treatment. Similarly water use efficiency and cost efficiency were increased significantly under conservation tillage compared to the CT treatment. The soil humus content in surface soil (0-30 cm) was higher in cotton-wheat-summer legume rotation under conservation tillage treatment. The results showed that conservation tillage and legume based rotation treatment could be beneficial in salt affected arid zone of Uzbekistan.

The agricultural crops are dependent on inorganic nitrogen for growth, and the amounts of plant-available ammonium- or nitrate-nitrogen are limited in the soil. Microorganisms play an important role in improving soil fertility and involved in all aspects of N cycling, including N2 fixation, nitrification, denitrification and ammonification. They decompose plant residues, soil organic matter and release inorganic nutrients that can then be taken up by plants. The environmental factors have direct and indirect effects on soil nutrient turnover processes, including N cycling. Thus changes in N dynamics in soils are closely connected with altering in microbial activities. The knowledge of the factors influencing soil microorganisms involved in N cycling is fundamental for sustainable environmental management. This chapter presents an overview of the role of microorganisms in N cycling and also elucidates whether biotic and abiotic factors alter their population and activities.
... The existing literature suggests that their use does not negatively affect the soil microbial community, and there is evidence that nitrification inhibitors have no effects on microbial biomass, respiration and enzymatic activities (Müller et al. 2002;Di and Cameron 2004;Mahmood et al. 2005). In agreement with these findings, Egamberdiyeva et al. (2001) reported increased numbers of oligonitrophilic bacteria and cellulose degradation activity and a decrease in the number of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria after application of potassium oxalate as nitrification inhibitor, while at the same time availability of fertiliser N to plants was increased.

Excess nitrogen in soil, aquatic and atmospheric environments is an escalating global problem as a result of technology and human actions increasingly dominating the nitrogen cycle at all environmental scales, which often leads to an accumulation of reactive nitrogen compounds in ecosystems. While sources of environmental nitrogen pollution are diverse and agriculture is not solely responsible, there is growing concern about the large number of identified impacts on water quality and greenhouse gas emissions, which originate from intensified agricultural management with its continually increasing nitrogen fertiliser consumption. Interactions of nitrogen in and with the environment are complex and our understanding of nitrogen cycling continues to be re-defined with the discovery of new nitrogen cycling processes and pathways. There is an increasingly urgent need for interdisciplinary, international studies that holistically investigate measures to control nitrogen losses and reduce agricultural costs while maintaining productivity. This is best achieved by joint actions among researchers, land managers and policy makers by assessing and implementing improved farm management practices that optimise agricultural production, minimise adverse effects on human and animal health and reduce environmental pollution. Similarly promising approaches to enhance environmental and economic sustainability of agricultural production are put forward by recent studies that take advantage of the improved understanding of soil nitrogen processes and plant uptake.
