TL;DR: In this article, the AGERTIM method (Assessment of Gully Erosion Rates Through Interviews and Measurements) has been developed, which comprises measurements of contemporary gully volumes, monitoring of gully evolution over several years and semi-structured interview techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used five villages representing three agro-ecologies (highland, midland and lowland) for the period between 1965 and 2007, and found that land policies of the imperial and communist regimes contributed largely to the increase of arable land while a decrease in vegetated land.

TL;DR: In this article, a land suitability assessment for annual crops and fruit trees was carried out with the use of the parametric methodology, with the highest priority assigned to crops and fruits already well established in the area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of integrated watershed management on reducing soil erosion and changes in the livelihoods of rural farming households in Ethiopia, and concluded that the implemented integrated watershedmanagement activities seemingly resulted in reduced soil loss, enhanced vegetation cover, and additional household income.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of altitude on carbon stock of woody biomass and soil of scattered trees on farmland, particularly in a dry area, and concluded that scattered trees hold a high potential of carbon storage which may greatly contribute to the climate resilience green economy strategy.
