Innovative technology for ecological restoration of degraded rangeland ecosystems based on new varieties of fodder halophytes in arid regions of Russia

This paper presents the results of breeding drought- and salt-tolerant varieties of fodder halophytes and the innovative technologies of ecological restoration of degraded rangeland ecosystems developed on their basis. The latter have been shown to restore the lost typical zonal biodiversity and fodder productivity of rangelands in arid regions of the south of Russia.
