Sustainable agricultural practices improve the food security of maize farmers in Ethiopia
The adoption of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) by smallholder maize farmers in southwest Ethiopia can significantly increase their food security. This study aimed to contribute to the broader discussion on how sustainable agriculture can enhance food security and economic stability of smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. A simple random selection method was used to select 382 maize growers for the study, with a focus on maize producers in …
Government-led resettlement schemes and land based investments have altered land systems
Forest and land degradation are directly linked to rapid population growth. • Land cover modification affects forest ecosystem services. • Both subsistence and commercial agriculture contribute to deforestation. • Government-led resettlement schemes and land-based investments have altered land systems. Land use land cover (LULC) changes significantly modify the natural environment if not well managed. This study aimed to quantify four decades (19…
Selective Ensemble Machine Learning for Mapping Potential Invasion of Vachellia drepanolobium in Ethiopian Savanna Ecosystem Using Sentinel-2 and Environmental Variables
Invasive plant species, particularly Vachellia drepanolobium , pose serious threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services in arid and semi-arid rangelands. Borana National Park (BNP) and surrounding districts are increasingly affected by V. drepanolobium ; however, spatial modeling of this invasion remains limited. In this study, we evaluated the performance of six models: Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gradient Boosted Machin…
Geospatial evaluation of ecosystem service values and carbon stock dynamics in the Yayu coffee forest biosphere reserve, Ilu Aba Bor Zone, Ethiopia
Evaluating Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs) and carbon stocks is crucial for measuring ecosystem functions, promoting sustainable management, and improving efforts to mitigate climate change. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the spatiotemporal dynamics of Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs) and carbon stocks in the Yayu Coffee Forest Biosphere Reserve using Geospatial Techniques. For this study, Thematic Mapper (TM, 1995), Enhanced Thematic M…
The contribution of the green legacy initiatives to land cover dynamics in the Buno Bedele Zone, Southwest Ethiopia
Ethiopia’s Green Legacy Initiative (GLI) has increased the forest cover significantly. • Increasing forest cover reflects a positive response to large-scale tree planting through GLI. • Forest land, settlement, and water bodies in the study areas show positive trends over. Ethiopia’s Green Legacy Initiative has significantly contributed to increasing forest cover change and biodiversity conservation. This study evaluated the contribution of the G…
Synergistic Pathways of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (Gerd) and green legacy initiative in shaping hydrological stress and land surface temperature in Abay Basin
The Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) construction and the Green Legacy Initiative (GLI) have significantly contributed to environmental resilience, including climate change mitigation, soil moisture, hydrology, riparian vegetation, and agricultural land. The present study evaluated changes in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC), moisture, and temperature conditions between February 2018, 2022, and 2025. Landsat satellite imagery was employed to …
Spatial analysis of land use and cover changes
Spatial Analysis of Land Use and Cover Changes: Implications of the Green Legacy Initiative on Climate Action in the Awash Basin, Ethiopia. Analyzing land cover changes with Landsat imagery from 1993, 2003, and 2023, this study evaluates the Green Legacy program’s impact on land surface temperature (LST). GIS and remote sensing techniques were employed to derive LST, NDVI, NDBaI, and NDWI from thermal and multispectral data. Findings indicate a 2…
Drivers of land use and land cover change and their association with bird distribution patterns in southwestern Ethiopia
Community perception of Morris’s Bat (Myotis morrisi) and its conservation status in Southwestern Ethiopia
Examining woody plant diversity across indigenous agroforestry practices in the Kellem Wollega zone, Western Ethiopia
Growing woody plants on farmland not only promotes biodiversity conservation but also supports the livelihood of local communities by offering essential ecosystem services. The present study aimed to assess the woody species diversity within indigenous agroforestry practices in Kellem Wollega Zone, western Ethiopia. From Kellem Wollega, three districts: Dale Sadi, Gawo Qebe,and Sadi Canqa were purposively selected. A total of 135 plots were surve…
