17 lip 2024 · Deforestation and soil erosion are the two major immediate causes of land degradation in Ethiopia. Estimates indicate that as much as 40% of the total area of Ethiopia (Sisay and Gitima 2020) and more than 90% of the highlands (Hurni et al. 2010) were once covered by dense forests.
10 lis 2020 · In conclusion, land degradation caused by soil erosion of any type (biological, chemical, physical, or other) is largely influenced by defects in soil management activities.
30 lip 2024 · This study investigates the temporal and spatial dynamics of land use land cover (LULC) changes over 31 years (1990–2021) in the upper Tekeze River basin, Ethiopia, utilizing advanced remote sensing techniques such as Google Earth Engine (GEE) and the Random Forest (RF) algorithm.
8 wrz 2023 · The study was carried out in the north-eastern highlands of Ethiopia to (1) analyze the effect of LULC changes between 1984 and 2021 and (2) assess the spatiotemporal variations in ecosystem service values (ESVs) and elasticity in response to LULC changes.
24 lip 2017 · Conclusion. Significant amount of LU/LC conversions had occurred in the watershed from 1985 to 2015 periods, and expected to continue in 2030 and 2045 periods. Thus, appropriate interventions to revert the trends are very much critical. Background. Our planet earth is endowed with plenty of natural resources which sustain life for millennia.
This book aims to explore these issues, with chapters dedicated to examining land and water degradation, water quality, irrigation, groundwater management, land use dynamics and the impacts of climate change on freshwater resources in Ethiopia.
28 mar 2022 · This paper overcomes these constraints by combining satellite observations and quasi-experimental evaluation methods to investigate the impacts of a large-scale land restoration effort:...
