DOI: 10.1007/s11250-021-02867-0
Abstract: Inadequate feed quality and quantity are the major constraints to dairy cow productivity in the southern Ethiopian Rift Valley. Dairy cows thrives predominantly on high-fibre feeds, with a reduced capacity for microbial fermentation in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2018.03.010
Abstract: Abstract We evaluate the frictional strength of seismogenic faults in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) by inverting the available, well-constrained earthquake focal mechanisms. The regional stress field is given by − 119.6°/77.2°, 6.2°/7.6°, and 97.5°/10.2°… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-2019-303
Abstract: Abstract. Intercropping with legumes is an important component of climate smart agriculture (CSA) in sub Saharan Africa, but little is known about its effect on soil greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange. A field experiment was established… read more here.
