Soil Geomorphology in the High Elevation: Soil Formation, Landform Relations and Indigenous Knowledge of Guna Mountain, Ethiopia

Getahun, Mekonnen (2025-02)

The distribution of soil in high mountain environments is shaped by various soil forming factors. Soil geomorphologists analyze key pedological characteristics to estimate the age of Quaternary deposits, assess landscape ...
Utilization of Water Hyacinth-Derived Biochar and Compost for Soil Amendment and Crop Production in Northwestern Ethiopia

Gezahegn, Ashenafei (2025-04)

Since 2011, water hyacinth (WH; Eichhornia crassipes) has become a significant threat to Lake Tana, Ethiopia. Managing WH is challenging due to rapid growth and difficulties in disposing of harvested biomass. However, ...
Effect of Land Use and Land Management Practices on Soil Respiration Dynamics in Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

Fekadu, Genetu (2023-07)

Understanding how land use affects soil respiration (Rs) rates will assist us to comprehend global CO fluxes and develop land management plans. This study examines: (1) the impact of land use on Rs in highland and ...
Soil Bunds, Cover Crops, and Acacia Decurrens Plantation Practices Influence Soil Erosion, Soil Moisture, and Crop Yield in the Abbay Basin, Ethiopia

Demissie, Simeneh (2024-06)

Land degradation due to accelerated soil erosion is a major socio-economic development and environmental sustainability threat in the highlands of Ethiopia. To reverse these problems several types of sustainable land ...
Soil Nutrient Budget and Crop Yield Under Different Agro-Ecologies, Land Uses and Management Practices in Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

Mulualem, Temesgen (2022-08)

In order to examine the sustainability of different land use types using soil nutrient balance and stock as indicators, inputs and outputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) were computed using a nutrient monitoring ...
Potential of Acacia decurrens-based Agroforestry System in Improving Soil Properties, Carbon Stock and Crop performance in the Highlands of Northwestern Ethiopia

Tadele, Desalegn (2025-05)

Smallholder farmers in Fagita Lekoma district of Northwestern Ethiopia have introduced Acacia decurrens-based agroforestry system following land degradation and the associated reduction in land productivity and crop ...
Spatial Analysis and Management of Acidic Soils, North-Western Ethiopia

Mengist, Addisu (2024-07)

Understanding soil acidity and the geographical variability of nutrients is critical for informed decision-making when selecting the best management alternatives for a given set of circumstances. During soil management ...
Improvement of Acid Soils Fertility and Crop Yieldsthrough Application of Soil Amendments in Northwestern Highlands of Ethiopia

Workineh, Ejigu (2022-08)

x Soil fertility depletion has become a serious challenge causing low crop yields and food insecurity in Ethiopia. To solve this problem, there has been a growing need to develop viable, effective and sustainable ...
