Assessment of land reclamation status using remote sensing and GIS in territory of Pakhtakor district of Uzbekistan

Abstract

The importance of land distribution across all sectors of the national economy cannot be overstated, particularly in agriculture. Agricultural land plays a critical role in meeting the population's food needs and satisfying the demand for raw materials in the industry. The fertility of the land is the main productive property in agriculture. Continuous improvements in land productivity, combined with the adoption of innovative technologies, are key factors in modern agriculture development. However, natural and anthropogenic factors are negatively impacting agricultural land productivity, leading to a decrease in productivity. To prevent this, urgent measures must be taken to improve the reclamation conditions of agricultural lands, develop regions following climate change, and effectively organize cadastral reclamation activities. Additionally, monitoring the reclamation condition of agricultural lands is crucial in times of scarcity. This research focuses on the assessment of the melioration condition of agricultural land in the Pakhtakor district of the Republic of Uzbekistan, using geoinformation technologies and remote sensing data. These technologies enable the low-cost, timely, and high-accuracy measurement of changes in soil conditions over large land areas. By continuously monitoring the earth's surface, we can identify existing problems and develop timely solutions to address them. In research, enhancing agricultural land productivity is a critical task for modern agriculture development. Innovative technologies and effective monitoring strategies, such as geoinformation and remote sensing techniques, are essential to achieving this goal. Through this research, we hope to contribute to the continued improvement of land management practices and sustainable agriculture in Uzbekistan.
