Terrace and Soil Properties

Ethiopia has been facing soil erosion problems. To tackle this problem the Government of Ethiopia and its foreign partners begun to emphasize on SWC measures.These measures were mainly physical SWC ones including terraces. This book therefore tries to identify the difference between physical and chemical properties of terraced and non-terraced farm plots and to explore the opinions of farmers on construction maintenance problems and benefits of terraces in Anjeni area North West Ethiopia. The result of this work is important in giving information for any concerned professionals whose interest is on SWC and/or environment.
