Conditions for the sustainability of biomass based fuel use
TL;DR: Sustainability of biomass based fuel use requires that in biomass production erosion and water usage do not exceed addition to stocks of soil and water and that levels of nutrients and organic matter in soils do not decrease.

Sediment deposition and pedogenesis in exclosures in the Tigray highlands, Ethiopia
Katrien Descheemaeker,Jan Nyssen,Joni Rossi,Jean Poesen,Mitiku Haile,Dirk Raes,Bart Muys,Jan Moeyersons,Seppe Deckers +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the sediment trapping capacity and controlling factors in the Tigray highlands of Northern Ethiopia and found that the sediment depth was related to vegetation cover, sediment source area and in some cases slope gradient.

Implications of Land Use and Land Cover Dynamics for Mountain Resource Degradation in the Northwestern Ethiopian Highlands
Gete Zeleke,Hans Hurni +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a geographic information system (GIS) and a remote sensing approach with field verification to monitor land use and land cover changes that occurred from 1957 to 1995 in the Dembecha area, Gojam, in the Northwestern highlands of Ethiopia.
