Predicting the spatial distribution of soil erodibility factor using USLE nomograph in an agricultural watershed, Ethiopia
Soil erosion in the northwestern Amhara region, Ethiopia has been a subject of anxiety, resulting in a major environmental threat to the sustainability and productive capacity of agricultural areas. This study tried to ...
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 ...
Improving Sorghum Productivity in Waterlogged Vertisols in North Gondar, Ethiopia.
Sorghum is a major crop in Vertisols of the North Gondar zone in Ethiopia. Due to
waterlogging on these Vertisols, the crop may stay in the field for more than seven months and
productivity is extremely low. Sorghum ...
Impact of Vetch Cover Crop on Runoff, Soil Loss, Soil Chemical Properties and Yield of Chickpea in North Gondar, Ethiopia. Purdue 2016.
Cover crops improve the sustainability and quality of both natural systems and agro
ecosystems. In the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed which is located in the Lake Tana basin of
Ethiopia, farmers usually use a fallow period ...

Final Dataset from erosion plot experiment conducted in 2012 in Gumara-Maksegnit as elaborated by Andreas Klik of BOKU, scientific responsible of the study. Please contact author to obtain more detailed metadata or to ...
Monitoring surface run-off and soil erosion processes
Within the ‘Unlocking the potential of rainfed agriculture in Ethiopia for improved rural livelihoods’ (UNPRA) project, the University of Natural
Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria (BOKU) research focuses ...
Final Dataset from erosion plot experiment conducted in Gumara-Maksegnit (2015).
Final Dataset from erosion plot experiment conducted in 2015 in Gumara-Maksegnit as elaborated by Andreas Klik of BOKU, scientific responsible of the study. Please contact author to obtain more detailed metadata or to ...
Variation of Selected Soil Properties in Relation to Land Use Types and Slope Steepness in a Mountainous Watershed, Ethiopia
Deforestation of the native forests for crop production in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed,
located in the Lake Tana basin, Ethiopia, dramatically increases the vulnerability of the soil for
rainfall driven erosion. Hence, ...
Predicting soil attributes for environmental modelling
The UNPRA–Ethiopia project ‘Unlocking the potential of rainfed agriculture in Ethiopia for improved rural livelihoods’ aims to improve the livelihoods of rural communities in the rainfed agro-ecosystem of the Amhara region ...
Modeling streamflow and sediment using SWAT in Ethiopian Highlands
The coincidence of intensive rainfall events at the beginning of the rainy season and unprotected soil conditions after extreme dry spells expose the Ethiopian Highlands to severe soil erosion. Soil and water conservation ...
