Mapping soil erosion hotspots and assessing the potential impacts of land management practices in the highlands of Ethiopia
An enormous effort is underway in Ethiopia to address soil erosion and restore overall land productivity.
Modelling and participatory approaches can be used to delineate erosion hotspots, plan site- and context-specific ...
Prediction of soil and water conservation structure impacts on runoff and erosion processes using SWAT model in the Northern Ethiopian highlands
Purpose Land degradation due to soil erosion is a serious threat to the highlands of Ethiopia. Various soil and water conservation (SWC) strategies have been in use to tackle soil erosion. However, the effectiveness of SWC ...
Effect of nitrogen fertilizer rate and timing on sorghum productivity in Ethiopian highland Vertisols
Sorghum is cultivated on Vertisols in the Ethiopian Highlands. An experiment was conducted in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed in 2013 and 2014 to assess the effect of rate and timing of nitrogen fertilizer application on ...
Comparison of SWAT and GeoWEPP model in predicting the impact of stone bunds on runoff and erosion processes in the Northern Ethiopian Highlands.
In the Ethiopian Highlands deforestation increased the vulnerability of the soils due to rainfall driven soil erosion (Addis et at. 2016; Nyssen et al. 2000). To tackle this soil erosion problem soil and water conservation ...
