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 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...
