Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive assessment of soil erosion risk for better land use planning in river basins : case study of the Upper Blue Nile River
Nigussie Haregeweyn,Atsushi Tsunekawa,Jean Poesen,Mitsuru Tsubo,Derege Tsegaye Meshesha,Ayele Almaw Fenta,Jan Nyssen,Enyew Adgo +7 more
TL;DR: The methodological framework identified the potential risk for soil erosion in large-scale zones, and with a more sophisticated model and input data of higher spatial and temporal resolution, results could be specified locally within these risk zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil erosion and conservation in Ethiopia A review
Nigussie Haregeweyn,Atsushi Tsunekawa,Jan Nyssen,Jean Poesen,Mitsuru Tsubo,Derege Tsegaye Meshesha,Brigitta Schütt,Enyew Adgo,Firew Tegegne +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed Ethiopia's experience and research progress in past soil and water conservation (SWC) efforts and suggested possible solutions for improving the overall current soil erosion rates are highly variable and large by international standards, and sheet, rill and gully erosion are the dominant processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamics of urban expansion and its impacts on land use/land cover change and small-scale farmers living near the urban fringe: A case study of Bahir Dar, Ethiopia
Nigussie Haregeweyn,Nigussie Haregeweyn,Genetu Fikadu,Atsushi Tsunekawa,Mitsuru Tsubo,Derege Tsegaye Meshesha +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the dynamics of urban expansion and its impacts on land use/land cover change and livelihoods of small-scale farmers living near the urban fringe of Bahir Dar in northwest Ethiopia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring land use/land cover changes, drivers and their implications in contrasting agro-ecological environments of Ethiopia
Mulatu Liyew Berihun,Mulatu Liyew Berihun,Atsushi Tsunekawa,Nigussie Haregeweyn,Derege Tsegaye Meshesha,Enyew Adgo,Mitsuru Tsubo,Tsugiyuki Masunaga,Ayele Almaw Fenta,Dagnenet Sultan,Mesenbet Yibeltal,Mesenbet Yibeltal +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the trends, driving factors, and implications of land use/land cover dynamics over the past 35 years (1982-2017) in three watersheds of the drought-prone areas that represent different agro-ecologies of Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia: Guder (highland), Aba Gerima (midland), and Debatie (lowland).
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuing land degradation: Cause–effect in Ethiopia's Central Rift Valley
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the dynamics of land use and cover and land degradation by analyzing Landsat data from 1973, 1985, and 2006 using Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing techniques, and revealed that in the last 30 years, water bodies, forest, and woodland decreased by 15·3, 66·3 and 69·2 per cent, respectively; intensive cultivation, mixed cultivation/woodland, and degraded land increased by 34·5, 79·7, and 200·7 per cent.
