Predicting Spatial and Temporal Soil Moisture Distribution in an Agricultural Field of Gumara-Maksegnit Watershed, North Gondar, Ethiopia
TropiLakes 2015 Book of Abstracts.
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 ...
Assessment of forest cover change and its environmental imacts using multi-temporal and multi-spectral satellite images
Ethiopia has a large number of species of flora and fauna in general and forest resources in particular with a significant rate of endemism. Ethiopian forest cover once was 40 per cent of the country’s land area. Reduction ...
Quantification of Land Degradation and Productivity of Agro-Ecosystems under Changing Climate and Land Use
Agro-ecosystems in dry areas are sensitive to changes in climate
and land use. The productivities of these agro-ecosystems are
highly variable in both spatial and temporal scales. Accurate and
up-to-date information on ...
Effects of land use changes and soil conservation intervention on soil properties as indicators for land degradation under a Mediterranean climate
Land degradation resulting from improper land
use and management is a major cause of declined productivity
in the arid environment. The objectives of this study were
to examine the effects of a sequence of land use ...
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 ...
Selection and socio-economic and biophysical characterization of Gumara-Maksegnit watershed research site
Bread wheat is one of the most staple food crops in the world and one of the most important cereals cultivated in Ethiopia. The most suitable agro-ecological zones for wheat production fall between 1,900 and 2,700 meters ...
Assessment of current land use and potential soil and water conservation measures on surface run-off and sediment yield
Soil erosion has accelerated in most regions of the world, especially in developing countries, due to various socio-economic and demographic factors and limited expertise (Bayramin et al., 2002). Geographically, soil erosion ...
Quantification of Land Degradation and Productivity of Agroecosystems under Changing Climate and Land Use
Agro-ecosystems in dry areas are sensitive to changes in climate and land use. The productivities of these agro-ecosystems are highly variable in both spatial and temporal scales. Accurate and up-to-date information on ...
Mitigating Land Degradation and Improving Livelihoods: an Integrated Watershed Approach
The research presented in this book demonstrates how an integrated "systems" approach to farming in the watershed context increases the effectiveness of a production system and improves people's livelihoods. It takes an ...
