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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Field experimental assessment of soil erosion processes at different scales in Gumara-Maksegnit watershed
Rainfall-driven soil erosion and consequential land degradation are among the major threats of the
mountainous landscape of Lake Tana Basin. In the course of a bilaterally funded project led by the
International Center for ...
