    Abstract: One of the most significant environmental hazards threatening ecosystems is gully erosion. In this study, we applied two bivariate statistical models—frequency ratio (FR) and index of entropy (IoE)—as well as a machine learning algorithm (RF) to generate gully erosion susceptibility maps (GESM). The study was conducted in the Dodota Alem watershed ... Show More

    Abstract: Land cover transformation exerts adverse effects on the environment. This study examined the changes in land cover in the Semen Bench District of southwest Ethiopia from 1986 to 2018, as well as its implications for soil physico-chemical properties. A mixed-method approach was employed, integrating remote sensing (RS) and geospatial data with soil ... Show More
