TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of data at the household level in Khabra Kalan village in the Thar desert of India revealed that the land holding size is halved every 20-30 years due to subdivision of land holdings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed spatio-temporal changes of gully length and density in watershed pairs in Guder, Aba Gerima, and Dibatie sites, which are representative highland, midland, and lowland agro-ecologies in the Upper Blue Nile basin of Ethiopia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative land cover maps (1992-2015) and the value transfer valuation method to estimate the changes in ecosystem services value (ESV) in response to land cover change in sub-Saharan Africa.

TL;DR: In this article, the variation in key soil properties as influenced by different land use types (cropland, grazing land, and bushland) and sustainable land management (SLM) practices (soil bund reinforced with grass, and fanya juu for croplands, and exclosures with and without trenches for grazing and bushlands) in the three contrasting agro-ecological zones of the drought-prone Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia.

TL;DR: Results signify an increasing threat of moisture unavailability in the study area and suggest that appropriate land management measures under the framework of the integrated catchment management (ICM) approach are urgently needed.
