Biyensa, GurmessaDemissie, AmbachewLemma, Bekele[Susceptibility of soil to wind erosion in arid area of the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia]Susceptibility of soil to wind erosion in arid area of the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia

Agricultural productivity and farm household welfare in areas of severe land degradation can be improved through ecosystem-based interventions. Decisions on the possible types of practices and investments can be informed using evidence of potential benefits. Using farm household data together wit...


Getnet, KindieMekuria, Wolde M.Langan, Simon J.Rivington, M.Novo, P.Black, H.[Ecosystem-based interventions and farm household welfare in degraded areas: comparative evidence from Ethiopia]Ecosystem-based interventions and farm household welfare in degraded areas: comparative evidence from Ethiopia

Controlled grazing management is considered as an effective strategy to enhance soil carbon sequestration, but empirical evidences are scarce. Particularly, the role of livestock exclusion related to soil carbon sequestration is not well understood in arid and semiarid savannas of Africa. We inve...


Aynekulu, ErmiasMekuria, Wolde M.Tsegaye, D.Feyissa, K.Angassa, A.Leeuw, Jan deShepherd, Keith D.[Long-term livestock exclosure did not affect soil carbon in southern Ethiopian rangelands]Long-term livestock exclosure did not affect soil carbon in southern Ethiopian rangelands
Cordingley, Justine E.Snyder, Katherine A.Rosendahl, JudithKizito, FredBossio, Deborah A.[Thinking outside the plot: addressing low adoption of sustainable land management in sub-Saharan Africa]Thinking outside the plot: addressing low adoption of sustainable land management in sub-Saharan Africa

An enormous effort is underway in Ethiopia to address soil erosion and restore overall land productivity. Modelling and participatory approaches can be used to delineate erosion hotspots, plan site- and context-specific interventions and assess their impacts. In this study, we employed a modellin...


Tamene, LulsegedAdimassu, ZenebeEllison, JamesYaekob, TesfayeWoldearegay, KifleMekonnen, KinduThorne, Peter J.Le, Quang Bao[Mapping soil erosion hotspots and assessing the potential impacts of land management practices in the highlands of Ethiopia]Mapping soil erosion hotspots and assessing the potential impacts of land management practices in the highlands of Ethiopia

Speargrassseverely constraints crop production in the sub-humid lowlands of West Africa. Researchers have identified and demonstrated effectivemanagement techniques but the adoption rate among farmers is still low. Data were collected from 41 communities in Cross River, Kogi and BenueStates in Ni...


Chikoye, D.Ellis-Jones, J.Tarawali, G.Kormawa, P.M.Nielsen, O.Ibana, S.Avav, T.[Farmers perceptions of the speargrass (Imperata cylindrica) problem and its control in the lowland subhumid savannah of Nigeria]Farmers perceptions of the speargrass (Imperata cylindrica) problem and its control in the lowland subhumid savannah of Nigeria

Historical and recent aerial photograph and satellite images were analysed to study the change of land use/land cover and soil degradation in different agroecological zones of Nigeria and Benin. The sites were characterized by an expansion of farmland at the expense of forest and shrub, fallow an...

Food security entails having sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet dietary needs. The need to optimise nitrogen (N) use for nutrition security while minimising environmental risks in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is overdue. Challenges related to managing N use in SSA can be associated with bo...
