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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
