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: Integrating structural and vegetative measures was found to be the best way to control soil erosion and its consequences and soil bund reinforced with grass in croplands and exclosure with trenches in non-croplands were found the most effective SLM practices for reducing both runoff and SL.

TL;DR: In this article, the long-term changes in carbon and nitrogen storage in the top 100 em layers of soils from different physiographic units in Bangladesh were evaluated using 460 soil samples from 43 profiles collected in 1967 and 1994/95.

TL;DR: As changes in LULC and climate are expected to intensify in the future, it is important to study further hydrological responses considering these changes to devise future sustainable land and water management strategies.
