In the Ethiopian Highlands, stone bunds are a common practice for soil and water conservation, influencing runoff and erosion processes from sloped agricultural areas. The objective of this study was to investigate how stone bunds affect spatio-temporal relationships of these processes to better ...

Impact of stone bunds on temporal and spatial variability of soil physical properties: a field study from northern Ethiopia
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 the possibility to shorten the maturity period and to improve the productivit...

With current rates of land degradation reaching ten to twelve million ha per year, there is an urgent need to scale up and out successful, profitable and resource-efficient sustainable land management practices to maintain the health and resilience of the land that humans depend on. As much as 50...

Scaling up sustainable land management and restoration of degraded land
The excess exploitation of natural resources dates back to the eighteenth century. Several attempts were made to assess the sustainability of natural resource use by humans. Some management systems defıned as sustainable are quite new when compared to 1000 years old Mediterranean terraces and cro...

This paper suggests how the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) community can progressively make use of a flexible framework of analytical approaches that have been recently developed by scientific research. This allows a standardized but flexible use of indicator sets ada...

To tackle inter-connected global challenges of population growth and migration, climate change, biodiversity loss, and degrading land and water resources, changes in land use and management are needed at a global scale. There are hundreds of options that can improve the sustainability of land man...

Modalities for Scaling up Sustainable Land Management and Restoration of Degraded Land.
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 strategies are considered were constructed. Two neighboring subwatersheds,...
