Abstract
This article analyses changes in the water discharge of the Amu Darya over the period 1960–2025 and their impact on tugai ecosystems. The study established that the year-on-year decline in river discharge has led to a disruption of the ecological balance in tugai areas, a lowering of the groundwater table and an intensification of soil salinization. It is also shown that, as a consequence of water scarcity, a reduction in the area occupied by hydrophilic vegetation and a decline in biodiversity are being observed. The article puts forward recommendations on the rational use of water resources in the Amu Darya basin, the conservation of tugai ecosystems and the strengthening of ecological monitoring.
