Evaporation of water from 'micro-lysimeters' collected from four types of field tillage treatments, namely, ploughed to a depth of 30cm (P), ploughed and then harrowed (P + H), ploughed, harrowed and rolled (P + H + R) and untilled (UNT) plots, was studied in a controlled laboratory environment a...

The effect of grazing cattle on vegetation was studied on a natural pasture during the rainy and dry seasons of 1995 in the Ethiopian highlands. The study used 0.01 ha plots, established on 0-4 percent and 4-8 percent slopes located close to each other at Debre Zeit research station, 50 km South ...

The effect of grazing pressure on infiltration, runoff, and soil loss was studied on a natural pasture during the 1995 rainy season in the Ethiopian highlands. The study was conducted on 0.01 ha plots established on sites with 0-4 percent and 4-8 percent slopes at the International Livestock Rese...

The effect of grazing pressure on infiltration, runoff, and soil loss was studied on a natural pasture during the rainy season of 1995 in the Ethiopian highlands. The study was conducted at two sites with 0-4 percent and 4-8 percent slopes at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) ...

The problem of seasonal shortages of herbage production from natural pastures in the Ethiopian highlands was investigated. This was done by comparing the available biomass amounts on the pastures with biomass amounts required for livestock grazing and for protecting land slope from soil erosion w...

Efffects of livestock grazing on surface runoff and soil erosion at varying slopes were studied in pasture lands within Ginchi watershed, Ethiopia. The results showed that livestock grazing in the watershed followed distinct seasonal and spatial patterns during the rainy season, grazing pressure ...

The Ethiopian highlands are ecologically heterogenous and densely populated by humans and animals. Due to the high human population pressure and large herds of livestock on small farm areas, continuous overgrazing of natural grasslands is common. In attempts to meet the increasing food and feed d...

The impacts of grazing on biophysical and hydrological properties of grazing lands were investigated on two sites represting 0-4 percent and 4-8 percent slopes at the Livestock research Institute (ILRI) Debre Zeit research station, 50 km South of Addis Ababa. Grazing pressure differently influenc...
