Semi-arid lands represent one fifth of the global land area but our understanding of greenhouse gas fluxes from these regions is poor. We investigated if inclusion of a grain legume and/or lime in a crop rotation altered greenhouse gas emissions from an acidic soil. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and methan...

The macro mineral status of cattle in the Selale highlands of Ethiopia was evaluated during the rainy and dry seasons of 1989 and 1990 in terms of mineral concentrations in soils, feeds, blood plasma and faeces on 25 farms. Bone samples from animals of local breeds from a slaughter house were col...

Land degradation, low agricultural productivity and poverty are major problems in Ethiopia. The existing resources cannot support the growing human and livestock population. Currently, there is an increasing interest among researchers and development experts in leguminous multipurpose trees and s...

The trace element status of crossbred Friesian X Zebu (Boran) and local Zebu cattle in the Selale highlands of Ethiopia was evaluated during the rainy and dry seasons of 1989 and 1990 interms of the trace element content of soils, feeds, blood plasma and faeces on 25 randomly selected farms. Live...

The resilience of rangeland soils and vegetation to different levels of grazing is still poorly understood. A study was conducted to determine the recovery of a rangeland grazed at different intensities and allowed a two-year rest period. The following treatments were applied to 0.5 hectare plots...

Ethiopia faces land degradation as one of its major environmental problems. In response to the degradation, massive land rehabilitation and conservation activities have been undertaken since the mid-1970s. In spite of these efforts, the impacts of long-term land management have not been examined ...

In the next two decades, the demand for animal products will more than double. The concluding paper provides some considered predictions on the future for crop animal systems in Asia, as a consequence of this trend. Although meat and eggs from non ruminants in industrial systems will continue to ...

To determine the symbiotic, phenotypic, and genetic diversity of rhizobia nodulating lentil in Ethiopia, 48 lentil-nodulating rhizobia were isolated from soil samples collected from diverse agro-ecological locations, and characterized based on 76 phenotypic traits. Furthermore, 26 representative ...

Four proximal soil sensors were tested at four smallholder farms in Embu County, Kenya: a portable X-ray fluorescence sensor (PXRF), a mobile phone application for soil color determination by photography, a dual-depth electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensor, and a LED-based soil optical reflectanc...
