Enhancing Coffee Agroforestry Systems Suitability Using Geospatial Analysis and Sentinel Satellite Data in Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia.

The Gedeo zone agroforestry systems are the main source of Ethiopia's coffee beans. However, land-use and suitability analyses are not well documented due to complex topography, heterogeneous agroforestry, and lack of information. This research aimed to map the coffee coverage and identify land suitability for coffee plantations using remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the Gedeo zone, Southern Ethiopia.

The nexus between land use, land cover dynamics, and soil erosion: a case study of the Temecha watershed, upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia.

At the current times, soil erosion is the major problem that affects land and water resources, especially in Ethiopia's highlands. Due to the dynamics of land use land cover change, land degradation, and soil erosion increase significantly and result in a loss of fertile soil every year and lead reduction in agricultural production. This study was therefore designed to explore the land use land cover (LULC) dynamics from 1986 to 2020, to estimate mean annual soil erosion rates and identify erosion hotspot areas from 1986 to 2020, and finally, to evaluate the impacts of land use land cover change on soil loss of 1986 to 2020.

The relationship between land use land cover and land surface temperature using remote sensing: systematic reviews of studies globally over the past 5 years.

The land surface temperature (LST) has been increased worldwide from time to time with the rapid increase of impervious surfaces such as built-up areas, parking lots, and asphalt and concrete roads. Several studies have examined the impacts of spatial dynamics of land use land cover (LULC) on the spatial variability of LST. However, there have not been systematic reviews conducted about the relationship between LULC and LST.
