The role of climate smart agricultural practices on household income and food security
The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of climate smart agricultural practices on household income and food security in Doyogena and Basona climate smart landscapes in Ethiopia. Data were collected from 796 randomly selected smallholder farmers from the two climate-smart villages of the Doyogena (399) and Basona (397) districts. Using a propensity score matching approach, this study examines the contribution of CSA practices to farm hous…
Gender gap in perspectives of the impacts of degradation and restoration on ecosystem services in Ethiopia
The importance of land restoration has garnered increasing attention on the global stage through large‐scale initiatives such as the Bonn Challenge. However, policies and strategies are often gender‐blind and designed in compliance with entrenched social hierarchies, exacerbating pre‐existing social inequalities that affect restoration initiatives. The challenge of developing gender‐responsive policies and initiatives is accentuated by a persiste…
Impacts of catchment restoration on water availability and drought resilience in Ethiopia
The coupled land degradation‐drought impacts have been central challenges to ecosystem functioning and livelihood of farmers in Ethiopia. As a response, catchment restoration initiatives have been implemented since the 1970s. The objective of this article is to analyze the effects of such catchment restoration initiatives on water resources and drought resilience, using metadata from 106 peer‐reviewed journal articles comprising 361 paired‐catchm…
Modeling long-term attainable soil organic carbon sequestration across the highlands of Ethiopia
The objectives of this study across the highlands of Ethiopia were: (i) to characterize the association between soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and biophysical variables and (ii) to model and map attainable SOC sequestration associated with five improved land management practices. The spatial distribution of the SOC stock was studied using a multiple linear regression model driven by eight biophysical predictors. A widely used SOC model (RothC) …
Flood hazard in a semi‐closed basin in northern Ethiopia
Even though flooding is a threat to rural communities in plains drained by ephemeral rivers, the magnitude of its impact, coping/prevention mechanisms, and the implications for river management are not well known. In this study, data were collected using a phenomenological‐based research design. Field observations, a questionnaire ( n = 440), key informant interviews (10), and one focus group discussion (with seven discussants) were used to colle…
