The present study was undertaken in Lao PDR to investigate the impacts of organic and clay-based soil amendments on maize yield, total nutrient uptake and crop water productivity (CWP), and analyze the economic return of such interventions. Structured field experiments were established over two c...


Mekuria, Wolde M.Noble, A.D.Hoanh, Chu ThaiMcCartney, Matthew P.Sengtaheuanghoung, OlothSipaseuth, N.Douangsavanh, SomphasithLangan, Simon J.Getnet, Kindie[The potential role of soil amendments in increasing agricultural productivity and improving the livelihood of smallholders in Lao PDR]The potential role of soil amendments in increasing agricultural productivity and improving the livelihood of smallholders in Lao PDR

Flood-based farming is among the potential options in ensuring access to water for crop and livestock production for small-scale farmers in the arid and semiarid lowlands of sub-Saharan Africa, and Ethiopia in particular. Flood-based irrigation while inexpensive is rooted in tradition in many rur...


Erkossa, TekluLangan, Simon J.Hagos, Fitsum[Constraints to the development, operation and maintenance of spate irrigation schemes in Ethiopia]Constraints to the development, operation and maintenance of spate irrigation schemes in Ethiopia

Land degradation through extensification of agriculture and overgrazing is an increasing problem across large expanses of the Ethiopian highlands that give rise to a loss in a range of ecosystem services. Ecological restoration through exclosure establishment has become increasingly important app...


Mekuria, Wolde M.Langan, Simon J.Noble, A.D.Johnston, Robyn M.[Soil organic carbon and nutrient contents are not influenced by exclosures established in communal grazing land in Nile Basin, northern Ethiopia]Soil organic carbon and nutrient contents are not influenced by exclosures established in communal grazing land in Nile Basin, northern Ethiopia

The study examined whether the use of spate irrigation in drought-prone areas of Ethiopia reduced poverty. Each of about 25 users of indigenous and modern spate irrigation schemes and an equal number of corresponding nonusers from the same peasant associations in Oromia and Tigray regional states...


Hagos, FitsumErkossa, TekluLefore, NicoleLangan, Simon J.[Spate irrigation and poverty in Ethiopia]Spate irrigation and poverty in Ethiopia

In this paper, concepts from Socio-Ecological Systems (SES) theory are applied to explore interactions among ecosystem services, livelihoods and resilience of SES. The approach was to i) examine trends in the stock of bundle of ecosystem services in three study landscapes namely Fogera, Jeldu and...


Lemenih, MulugetaBossio, Deborah A.Langan, Simon J.[Exploring ecosystem services contribution to social-ecological resilience in Ethiopian agricultural landscapes.]Exploring ecosystem services contribution to social-ecological resilience in Ethiopian agricultural landscapes.

The study examined whether access to spate irrigation leads to better nutrition outcomes. The results showed that there is an overall improvement in the study sites compared to the 2011 DHS study. As far as households with access to spate irrigation are concerned, weight-for-height z-scores indic...


Hagos, FitsumMulugeta, A.Erkossa, TekluLefore, NicoleLangan, Simon J.[Diversion of flashy floods for agricultural use and its effect on nutrition in Ethiopia]Diversion of flashy floods for agricultural use and its effect on nutrition in Ethiopia

Irrigation has a large potential to increase agricultural output and yield per unit area. However, the long term sustainability increased production, together with degradation of the soils (and associated water bodies) in irrigated areas may be irreparably damaged by inappropriate watering schedu...
