Examining the impacts of converting commercial Eucalyptus woodlots into cropland on rural households’ income and income diversification in Northwestern Ethiopia
Farmers in the Northwestern highlands of Ethiopia have begun converting commercial Eucalyptus woodlots into cropland. However, the impact of this transition on rural households' income and income diversification remains unclear. To fill this gap, this study investigates the impacts of this shift on farmers' income and income diversification level with the endogenous switching regression model and Simpson’s diversification index (SDI) approach, re…
Characterize the firewood and charcoal production and consumption patterns in the Northern part of Ethiopia
Wood-based fuels remain a primary source of energy for many households in Ethiopia, particularly in rural and urban communities with limited access to alternative energy sources like biogas and electricity. Although electricity is available, particularly in urban areas, it is unreliable as it frequently experiences outages. Therefore, this study characterizes the production and consumption patterns of firewood and charcoal in the Northern part of…

Gender dimension of access to Acacia decurrens and eucalyptus tree benefits in Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Tree farming has the potential to boost economic growth and improve rural livelihoods. However, women’s access to tree resources is limited due to political, cultural, and economic constraints. Studies were conducted on tree farming as a livelihood strategy for rural communities. However, men’s and women’s respective access to the benefits of trees has not been sufficiently considered. Therefore, this study assesses the ability of men and women a…
Examining the expansion of agroforestry practices and their management practices in the central highlands of Ethiopia
Agroforestry is an emerging livelihood strategy for meeting the fundamental requirements of millions of rural households, yet quantifying its expansion and management practices in Ethiopia remains limited. This study investigated the trends, extents and drivers of agroforestry expansion and related management practices in the central highlands of Ethiopia. A two-stage sampling method was employed to select 160 rural households that engaged in hom…

Traditional uses and local management practices of Adansonia digitata L. in different ethnic groups of Quara wereda, North West low land of Ethiopia
Adansonia digitata (African baobab) is one of the most important wild edible plant and a key species with high ecological and socioeconomic significance in most of tropical Africa. It is a multipurpose fruit-bearing and physically huge tree with more than 300 traditional uses and commercial values. The lack of literature on traditional uses and management practices for A. digitata by various ethnic groups hinder the promotion of sustainable manag…
Allometric models for predicting aboveground biomass of Combretum-Terminalia woodlands in Amhara, Northwest Ethiopia
Dry woodland ecosystems play an important role in the global carbon balance and these need accurate biomass predictions that can be obtained from tree allometry. However, information on allometric models is limited for Combretum-Terminalia woodlands of the Amhara Region in Northwestern Ethiopia. The objective of the study was to develop an allometric model for the aboveground biomass (AGBind) of the tree species in the study areas. A total of 149…
