Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management Vol 5, No 3 (2018)
Publisher : Brawijaya University

In developing countries including Ethiopia changing pattern of rainfall, increasing temperature, recurrent drought, massive land degradation, and poor performance of agricultural sector contribute for failure to meet the growing demands for food for the rural communities and left dependent on foreign food aid and seasonal migration. This study aims at examining the perceived impacts of climate change and disaster risk management by rural communities in Ethiopia. Cross-sectional socio-economic data were used. Dejen district was purposively selected as it is highly susceptible to climate related problems. Stratified and snowball sampling techniques were employed to select a sample of 398 households. Household survey was employed to collect data on climate change impacts perceived by local communities. Focus group discussions were carried out using guiding questions and seasonal calendar. Key informant interviews were used to triangulate households’ perceived climate change impacts. Field observations were used to observe biophysical, economic, social, and institutional features of the district. The results indicate that crop pests, soil erosion, crop disease, frost, drought, flood, hailstorm, and erratic rainfall were the major contributing factor for the loss of 50,555 quintals of agricultural cops over the period 2009-2016. The community seasonal calendar indicate that erratic rainfall, hailstorm, dry period, flood, landslide, livestock disease, crop disease and pests, and human diseases were the major climatic events in the study areas of rural communities. The lowland households were more susceptible to climate change impacts. Policy priority should be given based on the agro-ecology and households livelihood assets vulnerability levels

Wheat production is of paramount importance in the region of Meknes, which is mainly produced under rainfed conditions. It is the dominant cereal, the greater proportion being the soft type. During the past few decades, rainfall flaws have caused a number of cases of droughts. These flaws have seriously affecting wheat production. The main objective of this study is the assessment of rainfall variability at monthly, seasonal and annual scales and to determine their impact on wheat yields. To reduce this impact we suggested some mechanisms of adaptation. We used monthly rainfall records for three decades and wheat yields records of fifteen years. Rainfall variability is assessed utilizing the precipitation concentration index and the variation coefficient. The association between wheat yields and cumulative rainfall amounts of different scales was calculated based on a regression model to evaluate the impact of rainfall on wheat yields. Data analysis shown moderate seasonal and irregular annual rainfall distribution. Yields fluctuated from 210 to 4500 Kg/ha with 52% of coefficient of variation. The correlation results shows that soft wheat and hard wheat are strongly correlated with the period of January to March than with the whole growing-season. While they are adversely correlated with the mid-spring. This investigation concluded that synchronizing appropriate adaptation with the period of January to March was crucial to achieving success yield of wheat.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the diversity of plant species along the tourist trails to Mt. Lamongan and combat any misconceptions about ecosystem restoration and the ecotourism development program in Mt. Lamongan. A floristic survey was done through flora identification along the hiking trail from the gate of Mt. Lamongan nature recreation area in Papringan Village to the slopes of Mt. Lamongan. The identified species were listed and their taxonomic status analyzed using information from the GRIN website. This study found that exotic plant species are abundant along the tourist tract. Human activities were identified as contributing to the introduction and establishment of exotic plant species. Result of the research indicate that restoration knowledge and techniques do not exist in the Mt. Lamongan region. A comprehensive evaluation of flora should be implemented to enhance the restoration program and protect forest area, especially the tourist corridor to the peak of Mt. Lamongan. Integrated actions to enhance restoration and promote tourism are needed. It encompasses strengthening the restoration concept and technology, eradication of exotic plant species, and establishing a proper tourism interpretive tract.

Many soil and water conservation (SWC) measures were undertaken to decrease land degradation in Ethiopia. However, evaluation of their performance is essential to understand their success or failure and readjusting accordingly in the future planning. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of SWC measures in rehabilitation of degraded watershed and increase crop productivity in Maego watershed, Ethiopia. Seventy six sample plots were randomly taken from treated and untreated sub-watersheds for woody species and soil sampling. Crops yield was measured on top side, middle zone and below side of SWC structures. There were significantly higher woody species density and diversity, total nitrogen (TN), soil organic matter (SOM) and soil moisture in the treated uncultivated land than the untreated one. The highest tree and sapling species density and diversity, TN and SOM were recorded on the exclosure part of the treated sub-watershed. Landscape position affected soil fertility, but has no effect on woody species density and diversity. The highest barley and wheat yield was measured on top side of SWC structures. Therefore, physical SWC structures should be integrated with exclosure to enhance rehabilitation of degraded watersheds/landscapes. Integration of biological SWC measures that improve soil fertility are essential on the cultivated land of the watershed. Most of the existing SWC structures, especially the old ones are filled with accumulated sediment, so maintenance is needed.

Soil erosion and sedimentation are environmental problems faced by tropical countries. Many researches on soil erosion-sedimentation have been conducted with various results. Quantifying soil erosion-sedimentation and its temporal distribution are important for watershed management. Therefore, a study with the objective to quantify the amount of suspended sediment from catchments under various pine plantation areas was conducted. The research was undertaken during 2010 to 2017 in seven catchments with various percentage of pine coverage in Kebumen Regency, Central Java Province. The rainfall data were collected from two rainfall stations. A tide gauge was installed at the outlet of each catchment to monitor stream water level. The water samples for every stream water level increment were analyzed to obtain sediment concentration. The results showed that monthly suspended sediment of the catchments was high in January to April and October to December, and low in May to September. The annual suspended sediment fluctuated during the study period. Non-linear correlations were observed between suspended sediment and rainfall as well as suspended sediment and percentage pine areas. The line trend between suspended sediment and percentage of pine areas showed that the increase in pine areas decreased suspended sediment, with the slope of the graph is sharp at the percentage of pine areas from 8% to 40%, then is gentle for pine plantation areas more than 40%.

Baryte occurrences in Nigeria are spread across the Cretaceous Benue Trough which comprises of carbonaceous shales, limestone, siltstones, sandstones as well as in the northeastern, northwestern and southeastern parts of the Precambrian Basement Complex comprising of metasediments and granitoids. The mineralization is structurally controlled by NW-SE, N-S and NE-SW fractures. The common mode of occurrence for these barytes is the vein and cavity deposits type usually associated with galena, sphalerite, copper sulphide, fluorite, quartz, iron oxide as gangue minerals. Principal areas of baryte occurrences in Nigeria include Nassarawa, Plateau, Taraba, Benue, Adamawa, Cross River, Gombe, Ebonyi, and Zamfara. A large part of the vast baryte resources in Nigeria is still underexploited and further exploration work is needed to boost its exploitation. The inferred resource and proven reserve of baryte is put at over 21,000,000 and about 11,000,000 metric tons respectively. The economic evaluation of these barytes is viable having low (SG = < 3.5) to high (SG = 5.3) grades. The presence of associated minerals produces low quality barytes and as such blending and beneficiation is required to improve its quality.

Gold mine tailing in Buru island, Maluku Province, Indonesia contains high level of mercury but low in carbon and plant nutrients. Revegetation in such condition needs certain soil treatment which is suitable for plant growth. The objective of pot trials was to study the effect of indigenous Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria Azotobacter and organic matter on bacterial survival as well as growth of groundnut grown in mine tailing. The experimental design was a Split Plot Design which tested three types of Azotobacter liquid inoculant and three soil total organic carbon (TOC) contents. Results showed that Azotobacter inoculation increased Azotobacter population in tailing at the end of vegetative growth of groundnut. Total nitrogen content in soil decreased when TOC level increased. However, nitrogen uptake and growth of groundnut did not change after Azotobacter inoculation or manure amendment. These experiments provided information that Azotobacter inoculation on groundnut maintain its proliferation in Hg-contaminated mine tailing.

The case of soil contamination by heavy metals in environment shows an increasing amount along with the constructions and development period that has been done. The identification of heavy metal content in the field is extremely hard to be done without a laboratory activity. Therefore, it needs a quick and non-destructive approach or method to identify the metal content of the soil in the field. The application of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRs) technology is a method that non-destructively able to detect the heavy metal content in the soil by using Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR). Pretreatment spectrum which is done using the Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) can improve the results of the prediction models of PLSR. The results of MSC pretreatment spectrum can repair and improve the accuracy of the predictions of Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) in the soil. Eight samples were used for analysis of each of Pb and Zn content. The measured data were pre-treated by MSC. It was obtained that value of r = 0.98, R2 = 0.97 and RPD = 6.46 for the Pb content measurement. Meanwhile, the measurement for Zn obtained the value of r = 0.98, R2 = 0.97 and RPD = 6.28. Therefore, it can be inferred that the NIRs is one of technologies which is worth reckoned as the right and quick means to predict the content of heavy metals in soil in a non-destructively and environmentally friendly way.

Climate variability, communities’ perceptions and land management strategies in Lay Gayint Woreda, Northwest Ethiopia Menberu Teshome; Addisu Baye

Publisher : Brawijaya University

Climate variability is the fluctuation of climatic elements from the normal or baseline values. Agrarian communities are the most sensitive social groups to climate variability and associate extreme weather-induced hazards due to the fact that climate variability affects the two most important direct agricultural production inputs, such as rainfall and temperature. As Ethiopia is heavily dependent on agriculture its economic development is being hindered by climate variability coupled with many other deriving forces. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine climate variability, local communities’ perceptions and land management strategies to reduce the adverse impact of climate variability in Lay Gayint Woreda, Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data were used to complete this study. Primary data were collected and analyzed from a total of 200 randomly selected respondents reside in different agro-ecological areas. Metrology data were gathered from Nefas Mewcha Station from the years 1979 to 2010. Standardized rainfall anomaly index (SRAI), crop diversification index (CDI) and other descriptive statistical techniques were used to analyze the data. The results obtained from the climate data revealed an increase in temperature, and decrease and/or erratic in rainfall distribution. Time series SRAI from 1979 to 2010 indicates that 2002 and 2008 were characterized by extreme and severe dry conditions in order of importance with high impact on crop yields whist only 1984 and 1990 received near normal rainfall amount. Similarly, the survey result reveals that out of the total household heads, 87.5 % perceived that there was an increase in temperature over the last 20 years. The survey result also disclosed that significant numbers of households are more likely to adopt different land management strategies to reduce the negative impact of climate variability. Constructing terraces and check dams as well as planting trees were the major land management strategies used by the local communities. However, crop diversification index (CDI) was found to be 0.11 as the cultivated area is stanch to one crop indicating very low alternative crop production in the study area. Although the study area receives variable and inefficient rainfall the rugged topography and poor soil conditions have hindered the development of irrigation facilities. Local context-specific integrated watershed management activities, small-scale irrigation schemes and extension services need to be strengthened to reduce the impact of climate variability. Policy makers need also to substantially invest in establishing information dissemination systems in order to provide reliable weather information for farmers given that crop production is largely dependent on it.

This study aimed to examine the effect of bacteria found in the rhizosphere of rubber plants in producing exopolysaccharides to improve aggregate stability of sandy soils. Samples of soil have been taken in rhizosphere of rubber plants in West Kalimantan. Serial soil samples were diluted and cultured on ATCC no.14 medium to select potential bacteria to produce exopolysaccharides. Forty-five isolates of exopolysaccharide-producing bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of rubber plants was inoculated on ATCC no.14 medium. Based on the observations of morphological colony of these isolates, most of them had similarities in colour and shape so that only ten different isolates were obtained based on the morphological colony. Ten isolates were re-grown on MacConcey medium. Three isolates formed thick or slimy mucus when cultured on MacConcey medium. Three isolates grown on the medium of ATCC 14 resulted in dry weight of exopolysaccharide (mg/mL) varying from 0.28 to 7.59 mg/mL with sucrose and glucose as carbon sources. The results of the molecular identification of the three isolates of Klebsiella sp. LW-13, Klebsiella pneumoniae strain DSM 30104 and Burkholderia anthina strain MYSP113 showed that Klebsiella sp. LW-13 and Burkholderia anthina strain MYSP113 with 2% organic matter increased soil aggregate stability from highly unstable (30.67%) to unstable (45.01-48.20%). This aligned with the results by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on treated soil and without bacteria treatments.
