Soil erosion assessment and crop management as strategies for watershed management improvement
Land degradation and low agricultural productivity are severe problems in the highlands of Ethiopia. Various soil and water conservation (SWC) strategies have been in use to tackle soil erosion. However, the effectiveness ...
Assessments on the impact of stone bunds on water erosion in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Northern Ethiopia
Soil erosion due to heavy rain events during the rainy season from June to September is a
big threat to the Ethiopian highlands. About 85 % of the total population of Ethiopia, live from
agriculture and therefore sound ...
Spatial and Temporal impacts of stone bunds on soil physical properties: a case study in the Northern Ethiopian Highlands
Central issue of rain fed agriculture systems in the Ethiopian highlands is to store rain
water in the soil during the rainy season. The aim is to maximize plant available water and
to reduce surface runoff and soil ...
Genetic Diversity Study of Ethiopian Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Varieties Using Phenotypic Traits, ISSR and SNP Markers
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the earliest food legumes of the world used as source of high protein for human and animal consumption. In Ethiopia, no studies were conducted on faba bean varieties genetic diversity ...
Monitoring and simulation of soil erosion in the Ethiopian Highlands on a plot scale
Soil erosion is the main driving force for global land degradation. Soil erosion measurements
are an important tool to assess soil loss under site-specific conditions and evaluate the impact
of changes in land use on its ...
Runoff and Sediment Monitoring in an Agricultural Watershed in the Ethiopian Highlands
This master thesis was conducted in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, which covers an
area of 54 km² and is located in the Lake Tana basin in the North West Amhara region,
Ethiopia. This region is affected by severe land ...
Soil moisture prediction in an agricultural field of Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, North Gonder, Ethiopia
Master Thesis: The research question of this study is then ‘how much soil moisture is left in the soil during drying process or recession of the summer (wet) season whose rainfall distribution is uni-modal as well as ...
Oberflächenabflussbestimmung mittels photogrammetrischer Bildauswertung
This bachelor thesis " Surface runoff determination by means of photogrammetric image analysis" was conducted in the Gumara-Maksegit drainage area in the highland dry areas
of north-western Ethiopia, which covers around ...
Evaluation of the Impact of Stone Bunds on Soil Loss and Surface Runoff in the Gumara-Maksegnit Watershed, Northern Highlands of Ethiopia
Ethiopia is highly affected by land degradation and one of the key problems is soil erosion.
It is mainly caused by the rapid population increase, deforestation, low vegetation cover
and unbalanced livestock and crop ...
