Application of a spatial decision support system (SDSS) to reduce soil erosion in northern Ethiopia
A spatial decision support system (SDSS) based on multi-criteria and multi-objective decision analysis is applied in a case study in Ethiopia to reduce soil erosion on the basis of reallocation of crops according to their capacity to protect the soil. The case study is carried out in the Adwa district. The SDSS has been implemented using the widespread GIS software IDRISI 32 (release 2) and wit...
متن کاملSeverity and Yield Impact of Soil Erosion: Evidence from Northern Ethiopia
Farmers must perceive soil erosion as a problem before they will invest in preventing it. However, perceptions are often overlooked in the conservation literature. This study analyzes the levels and determinants of farmer perceptions of soil erosion in northern Ethiopia. Results are based on a survey of 250 farmers managing 900 fields during the 1995-96 cropping season. Farmer perceptions of th...

متن کاملEstimation Model of Soil Freeze-Thaw Erosion in Silingco Watershed Wetland of Northern Tibet
The freeze-thaw (FT) erosion is a type of soil erosion like water erosion and wind erosion. Limited by many factors, the grading evaluation of soil FT erosion quantities is not well studied. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the evaluation indices of soil FT erosion, we for the first time utilized the sensitivity of microwave remote sensing technology to soil moisture for identification of...
متن کاملComparing WEPP and Hydro Physical Models to Estimate Soil Erosion and Sediment Production: A Case Study of Chardavol Watershed
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Soil erosion and sediment production include fundamental limitations in the use of soil and water resources. The sediment yields watersheds in addition to the loss of soil fertility, causing water quality reduction. Therefore, evaluation processes that govern their behavior to better understand and assess the systems of watershed management practices are imp...
