Land use/land cover (LULC) changes are the foremost drivers that enormously modified ecosystem services in Ethiopia. Evaluating LULC impacts on values (ESV) is vital to show susceptibility of and also have an indispensable role land resource management. This study was conducted (1) determine tempo-spatial changes; (2) estimate ESV response Chacha Watershed, central highlands A supervised image classification technique using maximum likelihood classifier employed analyze trends over past 24...
Since the last few decades, government of Ethiopia has introduced and adopted participatory forest management (PFM) in different regions country. However, there is a lack research dealing with perceptions attitudes local people towards PFM Wof-Washa Forests (WWF). The aim this study was to evaluate implemented WWF. We hypothesized that differ socio-economic variables, such as sex, age, level education, family size, occupation type, annual income, length duration residence, livestock, land...
The Jemma Subbasin (JS) has a major soil erosion problem emanating from deforestation, overgrazing, and agricultural expansion, including farming of unproductive fringed lands steep slope terrains. This study was conducted to assess runoff estimate the subsequent sediment yields in JS using Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. overall efficiency SWAT model accurately evaluated by values its calibration (R2 = 0.66) validation 0.63), respectively. findings revealed that barren land not...
Abstract. Up-to-date digital soil resource information and its comprehensive understanding are crucial to supporting crop production sustainable agricultural development. Generating such through conventional approaches consumes time resources, is difficult for developing countries. In Ethiopia, the map that was in use qualitative, dated (since 1984), small scaled (1 : 2 M), which limit practical applicability. Yet, a large legacy profile dataset accumulated over emerging machine-learning...
This study examines the level of forest users' participation at different stages a participatory management (PFM) program, and identifies factors that influence their in Gebradima forest, southwest Ethiopia. Data were collected from five user groups (FUGs) through household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions. A index (PI) binary logistic regression model used to analyze data. Results revealed PI was 65.7%, 59%, 54.9% planning, implementation, monitoring stages,...
Introduction: Evaluation of water availability and land suitability for surface irrigation practice is crucial a country like Ethiopia whose livelihood highly dependent on seasonal rainfed agriculture, which susceptible to climate change has large population suffering from food insecurity. Methods: In this study, several factors, such as slope, use cover, rainfall, proximities (market centers, roads, rivers), soil factors (i.e., pH, organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, electrical...
Research in development economics reveals that the bulk of cross-country differences economic growth is attributable to productivity. By some accounts, productivity contributes more than 60 percent countries' per capita GDP. I examine a particular channel through which financial could explain and cross-industry realized argue induces technological innovations - major stimulus facilitating capital mobilization risk sharing. In panel industries across thirty eight countries, find explains...
Behavioral indicators can provide critical information to conservation managers. Here we apply behavioral based on foraging theory quantify the effect of tourists critically endangered Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana). Ibex are habituated human presence in En Avdat National Park, Israel; nevertheless, they exhibit heightened wariness humans especially during kidding season or when far from escape terrain. We applied through measurement givingup-densities (GUD, amount food that a forager leaves...

Abstract Does a financial system architecture anchored on banks perform better than one centered markets in fostering technological innovations as engines of growth? In panel industrial sectors across large cross section countries, I find that while market-based systems have general positive effect all economic sectors, bank-based foster more rapid progress information-intensive suggesting heterogeneous impact architecture. Thus, the relative performance vis-à-vis depends structure economy.
Growing Eucalyptus at a farm level in the form of woodlot has become popular among rural households Ethiopia. For example, mainly establish as component livelihood improvement and diversification to meet household wood demand generating cash income. However, there is lack information on growth parmeters factors influencing decision their establishment individual farmland level. The objective this study was examine local people's knowledge adverse impacts attitudes towards growing Gudo Beret...
Restoring the degraded sites with vegetation cover is an optimal solution to mitigate environmental disasters. Starting from 1980s, donor-assisted land rehabilitation activities were taking place in Tehulederi District, South Wollo, Ethiopia. Meanwhile, majority of forests destroyed; part problem was associated top-down approach forest management. The challenge is, therefore, find a system management that can enhance combined effect both community and state. forestry (i.e. development...
Abstract Capital markets perform two distinct functions: provision of capital and facilitation good governance through information production monitoring. I argue that the function has more impact on efficiency with which resources are utilized within firm. Based industry-level data across 38 countries, present evidence suggesting a positive relation between market-based improvements in industry efficiency. The measures also positively correlated productivity growth real output. Furthermore,...
This study examines a participatory forest management program and its impacts on conditions in Gebradima Forest, southwest Ethiopia. Vegetation data were collected from both (PFM) nonparticipatory (non-PFM) blocks. A total of 54 plots (27 each block) measuring 20 m × employed to collect species composition structural data. Results indicated that 51 different woody plant (49 at PFM 43 non-PFM blocks), representing 31 families recorded, with 41 shared for sites. Species diversity evenness...
Abstract Due to their direct dependence on wildlife products for subsistent use, people living in poverty are often viewed as being conflict with conservation. We studied the attitudes of local towards mountain nyala ( Tragelaphus buxtoni ) Munessa, Ethiopia. A household survey (n = 214) was used examine socio‐economic characteristics and beliefs from three peasant associations one village. Generally, study revealed that had positive nyala, its conservation population increase, which is...
The value of a habitat for forager may be affected by characteristics related to food availability, energetic costs foraging, predation costs, and the foraging opportunities available in other habitats. Nubian ibex ( Capra nubiana ) are stout, sure-footed social wild goats that inhabit arid landscapes with steep terrain. We investigated their selection behavior using indicators (1) develop suitability index (HSI) model would account variation activity densities across types seasons, (2)...
Nubian ibex ( Capra nubiana ) prefer steep terrain in their landscape to reduce risks of predation and human nuisance disturbances. They also use vigilance time allocation manage risk predation. We studied budgets habitat selection to: (1) identify the variables which were behaviorally responsive; (2) investigate how budget responses related season, slope condition, group size, sex-age structure; (3) develop behavioral-based models that account for variations behaviors across seasons. To...
