Quantifying rainfall-runoff relationships on the Melkassa Hypo Calcic Regosol ecotope in Ethiopia
Droughts, resulting in low crop yields, are common in the semi-arid areas of Ethiopia and adversely influence the wellbeing of many people. The introduction of any strategy that could increase yields would therefore be advantageous. The objective of this study was to attempt to assess the influence of in-field rainwater harvesting (IRWH), compared to ...

This paper highlights the role of groundwater inputs to the river system during flood events in diluting suspended sediment concentration, in two small badland catchments with contrasting vegetation cover. The findings underline the importance of isolating the surface runoff component to better understand and prioritise hydrosedimentary processes ...

Tree species diversity drives above‐ground carbon sequestration through light‐related trait shifts
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits can vary in response to tree species mixing, which in turn might influence biomass production and, consequently, carbon (C) sequestration in diverse forests.
