The effects of soil bunds on runoff, losses of soil and nutrients, and crop yield are rarely
documented in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia. A field experiment was set up consisting of …

On the steep hill slopes of southwest Ethiopia, soil erosion may cause significant declines in
soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrients, negatively affecting cropland productivity. Soil …

In the Ethiopian highlands, large-scale stone bund building programs are implemented to
curb severe soil erosion. Development of soil fertility gradients is often mentioned as the …

Excessive runoff and soil erosion in the upper Blue Nile Basin poses a threat that has
attracted the attention of the Ethiopian government because of the serious on-site effects in …

Since two decades, stone bunds have been installed in large areas of the Tigray Highlands,
Northern Ethiopia, to control soil erosion by water. Field studies were conducted to quantify …

Use of stone bunds to enhance soil and water conservation was first introduced to Tigray,
northern Ethiopia in 1981. This study was designed to examine the factors that control the …

Research results published regarding the impact of soil and water conservation practices in
the highland areas of Ethiopia have been inconsistent and scattered. In this paper, a …

Research-based evidence on the effects of soil and water conservation practices (SWCPs)
on soil physicochemical properties and crop yield is vital either to adopt the practices or …

Soil degradation due to erosion, which emanates from improper land management, has
been one of major challenges affecting agricultural production and food security. To control …

Land degradation is one of the major challenges in agricultural production in many parts of
the world, especially in developing nations like Ethiopia. To combat the problem different …
