Description :
The AA. conducted runoff plot experiments in the semi-arid north Ethiopian Tigray highlands to investigate whether erosion rates are within the same order of magnitude as the rates observed in central, east and south Ethiopia, to measure the effects of various land uses and covers, and to examine the application of the (Revised) Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to the Ethiopian highlands.
