Article Synopsis
- Soil degradation negatively impacts land quality and productivity, prompting the implementation of soil and water conservation (SWC) measures such as area closure in Ethiopia.
- A study involving interviews with 80 households found that 98% believe area closure helps restore degraded lands, with 86% noting reduced erosion and improved soil fertility.
- Results indicated that area closure with SWC significantly improved soil properties, showing higher levels of organic carbon, total nitrogen, and other nutrients compared to open grazing methods.
