Carbon storage and soil biodiversity in forest landscapes in Ethiopia: Knowledge base and participatory management
Abstract
The project will focus on regeneration of degraded lands to increase C storage using key indigenous tree species and non-native trees. It will look at the value of soil biodiversity enhancement in preservation or re-establishment of ecosystem services and as a climate mitigation tool. The project will work in local partnership with farmers and other relevant stakeholders in participatory research and innovation clusters (PARIC) in order to establish the foundation for bottom-up, long-term research cooperation on environmental and climate change issues with local communities. All the research will be carried out in partnership between the Austrian partners, ARARI and local partners in Amhara Region. Ethiopian master and doctoral students will be funded to study at BOKU while carrying out their research in Amhara Region within the project framework.
