The impact of land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics on soil erosion and sediment yield in Ethiopia

The central highlands of Ethiopia are characterized as a region of high rates of land degradation and soil erosion. This study aimed to estimate total amount of soil loss and sediment yield using RUSLE model within GIS environment. LULC maps of 1973–2015 were used to evaluate the impact of land use...
