Using magnetite tracer to evaluate a novel plot experimental design for the assessment of soil and water conservation impacts of stone bunds in Ethiopia
In the Ethiopian highlands the removal of native forests and rangelands for crop cultivation dramatically increased
the vulnerability of the soils for rainfall driven soil erosion. Overlaid with intensive rainfalls occurring ...
Soil conservation measures in the Ethiopian Highlands: The effectiveness of stone bunds on soil erosion processes
Extensive land degradation in the Ethiopian Highlands jeopardizes rural livelihood. Intensified by increasing population pressure, farmers are forced to expand their arable land by deforestation and thus worsening the soil ...
Investigation of the Impact of Stone Bunds on Erosion and Deposition Processes Combining Conventional and Tracer Methodology in the Gumara Maksegnit Watershed, Northern Highlands of Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the most populous countries in Africa, with over 85% of the total
population dependent on agriculture. Massive deforestation in the past and missing soil and
water conservation (SWC) measures cause severe ...
Using SWAT model to evaluate the impact of community-based soil and water conservation interventions for an Ethiopian watershed
Extensive land degradation in the Ethiopian highlands forces the rural communities to prevent further soil erosion to ensure sustainable land management in the endangered regions. Soil conservation measures are continuously ...
