“…Eventually, such practices reduce soil nutrients and water holding capacity, increases erosion and thereby reduce agricultural productivity. For example, comparable higher OC, TN and other soil nutrients have reported under grassland as compared to cultivated land-use type [4,14,25,28,29]. However, there are limited quantitative evidences that evaluate soil properties under different cropping systems even within the cultivated landuse type and other land-use systems managed by smallholder farmers in the northern Ethiopia conditions.…”

“…In developing countries such as Ethiopia, land has been utilized intensively for any purposes regardless of its suitability, which has resulted in severe soil quality degradation. Such degradation has explained by poor soil properties and low agricultural production [14,[26][27][28][29]. Practically, under the existing circumstances and economic conditions of farmers in developing countries such as Ethiopia there is a need to have inexpensive but environmentally sound integrated cropping system and land-use management approach to address soil quality related problems.…”

There are limited reports about the impacts of long-term cropping and land-use systems (CLUS) on soil properties and nutrient stocks under smallholder farmers' conditions in developing countries. The objective of this research was to examine variation in soil properties and OC and TN stocks across the different CLUS in Dura sub-catchment, northern Ethiopia. Surveys and discussions on field history were used to identify nine CLUS, namely, tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc) Trot)) mono-cropping (TM), maize (Zea mays L.) mono-cropping (MM), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis)-maize intercropping (IC1), red beet (Beta Vulgaris)-maize intercropping (IC2), cauliflower-tef-maize rotation (R1), onion (Allium cepa L.)-maize-onion rotation (R2), tr eated gully (TG), untreated gully (UTG), and natural forest system (NF). A total of 27 composite soil samples were randomly collected from the CLUS for soil analysis. Data were subjected to one-way analysis of variance and PCA. The lowest and highest bulk density was determined from NF (1.19 Mg m-3) and UTG (1.77 Mg m-3), respectively. Soil pH, EC and CEC varied significantly among the CLUS. The highest CEC (50.3 cmol c kg-1) was reported under TG followed by NF. The highest soil OC stock (175.3 Mg C ha −1) and TN stock (13.6 Mg C ha −1) were found from NF. The PCA chosen soil properties explained 87% of the soil quality variability among the CLUS. Such soil properties and nutrient stocks variability among the CLUS suggested that introduction of suitable management practices that sustain the soil system of the CLUS with poor soil properties and nutrient stocks are crucial for the study area conditions.

20There are limited reports about the impacts of long-term irrigated and non-irrigated cropping and 21 land-use systems (CLUS) on soil properties and nutrient stocks under smallholder farmers' 22 conditions in developing countries. The objective of this research was to examine variation in 23 soil properties and OC and TN stocks across the different CLUS in Dura sub-catchment, 24 northern Ethiopia. Surveys and discussions on field history were used to identify nine CLUS, 25 namely, tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc) Trot)) mono-cropping (TM), maize (Zea mays L.) mono-26 cropping (MM), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis)-maize intercropping (IC1), red 27 beet (Beta Vulgaris)-maize intercropping (IC2), cauliflower-tef-maize rotation (R1), onion 28 (Allium cepa L.)-maize-onion rotation (R2), treated gully (TG), untreated gully (UTG), and 29 natural forest system (NF). A total of 27 composite soil samples were collected randomly from 30 the CLUS for laboratory analysis. Data were subjected to one-way analysis of variance and PCA. 31 The lowest and highest bulk density was determined from NF (1.19 Mg m -3 ) and UTG (1.77 Mg 32 m -3 ), respectively. Soil pH, EC and CEC varied significantly among the CLUS. The highest CEC 33 (50.3 cmol c kg -1 ) was under TG followed by NF. The highest soil OC stock (113.6 Mg C ha −1 ) 34 and TN stock (12.2 Mg C ha −1 ) were found from NF. The PCA chosen soil properties explained 35
