吉尔吉斯斯坦的Arslanbob核桃森林是世界上最大的核桃森林,由于气候变化、过度放牧和缺水,其产量正在下降,每日收成从15吨减少到3至4吨。 Kyrgyzstan’s Arslanbob walnut forest, the world’s largest, is declining due to climate change, overgrazing, and water shortages, reducing harvests from 15 to just 3–4 tonnes daily.

吉尔吉斯斯坦的Arslanbob核桃森林是世界上最大的天然林,由于气候变化、过度放牧、非法采伐和缺水,这种森林正在迅速减少。 Kyrgyzstan’s Arslanbob walnut forest, the world’s largest natural stand, is rapidly declining due to climate change, overgrazing, illegal logging, and water shortages. 2000年代,每天产量达到15吨胡桃,现在平均收成只有3至4吨,坚果经常因炎热和旱灾而变红或变黑。 Once yielding up to 15 tonnes of walnuts daily in the 2000s, harvests now average just three to four tonnes, with nuts often turning red or black from heat and drought. 中亚自1991年以来暖化了1.5°C,是全球平均干燥条件增强的两倍。 Central Asia has warmed 1.5°C since 1991—twice the global average—intensifying dry conditions. 重新植树的努力与干燥的土壤抗争,而牲畜和木柴的使用则进一步损害森林。 Replanting efforts struggle with dry soil, while livestock and firewood use further damage the forest. 当地人正在探索可持续的替代办法,如核桃油生产和生态旅游,以提高经济价值并鼓励养护。 Locals are exploring sustainable alternatives like walnut oil production and eco-tourism to boost economic value and encourage conservation.
