Impact of reservoir construction on the sediment budget of a downstream-linked freshwater lake
We investigated the magnitude of reservoir sedimentation upstream and its sediment-shadow effect on a large downstream-linked lake, Lake Tana (Ethiopia). To better understand the reservoir-induced reductions of fluvial sediment downstream, sediment budgets for two scenarios were developed. The results indicated that reservoir sedimentation is extre...
Changes in total and per-capita ecosystem service value in response to land-use land-cover dynamics in north-central Eth...
Ecosystems provide a wide range of services crucial for human well-being and decision-making processes at various levels. This study analyzed the major land cover types of north-central Ethiopia and their impact on total and per-capita ecosystem service value (ESV). The ESV was estimated using the benefit-transfer method along the established globa...

Challenges and resilience of an indigenous farming system during wartime (Tigray, North Ethiopia)
...
Due to war conditions, the local farmers had to largely rely on their own crop production, mainly by subsistence farming, in Tigray, North Ethiopia. We assessed the crop stands in 2021 and evaluated the level of resilience of the indigenous farming system. Quantitative data were collected from 161 farm parcels in various ecoregions of this tropical...

Recruitment credit cannot compensate for extinction debt in a degraded dry Afromontane forest
QUESTION: Anthropogenic disturbances severely affect dryland forests worldwide, but their effects on woody species population structure and long‐term persistence remain poorly understood. LOCATION: The research was conducted in Desa'a, a dry Afromontane forest in northern Ethiopia, Tigray region. AIMS: Woody species diversity, extinction debt, recr...
