All salinity levels (control, 8, 16 and 24dS/m) were then applied to each species with 5 replications making 20 treatments among the total of 60 pots. Data was collected on root and shoot length, root length density, root and shoot biomass by destructive methods. Germination percentage was recorded on completion of germination in lab. All data were tested at P < 0.05 for significant differences.C. corrugate and C. boranensis recorded only 0 and 11.4% seed germination, respectively at 24dS/m salinity level, and C. habessinica was more tolerant to salinity with 50.13% germination at 24dS/m.

About 48 soil samples were taken from 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 91-120 cm soil depths by opening 12 representative soil profile pits at 1.5 m depth. Soil color, texture, bulk density, Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Na, K, Mg, Ca, CaCO3, gypsum (CaSO4), pH, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) were analyzed. The dominant soil texture was silty-clay-loam. Bulk density varied from 1.1 to 1.31 g/cm 3. High SOC content was observed in 0-30 cm. The soil pH ranged from 7.1 to 8.6. The electrical conductivity shows indirect relationship with soil depth while CaCO3 and CaSO4 concentrations were observed in a direct relationship with depth. About 41% are non-saline, 38.31% saline, 15.23% saline-sodic and 5.46% sodic soils. Na concentration in saline soils was greater than Ca and Mg in all the soil depths. Ca and Mg contents were higher above 60 cm soil depth in non-saline soils. The concentrations of SO2-4 and HCO-3 were observed to be higher at the most lower depth than upper. SAR value tends to be higher at lower depths in saline and saline-sodic soils, but decreases at lower depth of the non-saline soils. The distribution of ESP above 60 cm depth was in an increasing order in saline and saline-sodic soils. The result of the research has shown the direction to which extent of salinity we should consider for the Commiphora plant species we want to grow on the area.

Eight sample plots were collected from Hazelnut (Corylus avellana) agroforestry using random sampling method. The diameter of all trees in each plot with ≥ 2cm at 1.3m DBH was measured by using a calliper. Average diameter, aboveground biomass, and carbon stock were calculated for each plot. Comparative data for natural forestland was used for C was taken from KTU, and the soil C was converted from the biomass conversion equation. Biomass carbon was significantly higher in the Natural forest (68.02Mgha⁻¹) than in the Hazelnut agroforestry (16.89Mgha⁻¹). SOC in Hazelnut agroforestry, Natural forest, and arable agricultural land were 7.70, 385.85, and 0.00 Mgha⁻¹ respectively. Biomass C, on average accounts for only 0.00% of the total C in arable agriculture, and 11.02% for the Hazelnut agroforestry while 88.05% for Natural forest. The result shows that the conversion of arable crop field to Hazelnut agroforestry can sequester a large amount of C in the soil as well as in the biomass than Arable agricultural lands.

The Significance of Salinity Level on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Selected Commiphora Species in Yabello district, Southern Ethiopia, 2029

All salinity levels (0.49dS/m or control, 8, 16 and 24dS/m) were then applied to each species with 5 replications making 20 treatments among the total of 60 pots. Data was collected on root and shoot length, root length density, root and shoot biomass by destructive methods. Germination percentage was recorded on completion of germination
in lab. All data were tested at P < 0.05 for significant differences. C. corrugate and C. boranensis recorded only 0 and 40% seed germination, respectively at 24dS/m salinity level, and C. habessinica was more tolerant to salinity with 51.3% germination at 24dS/m. As salinity increased to 24dS/m ECe, the shoot length of C. corrugate was null.
The result of C. habessinica recorded the highest shoot dry matter at control level and was radically declined to
2.05g and 1.43g at 16ds/m and 24ds/m levels respectively, while shoot dry matter of C. corrugate and C.
habessinica at 24ds/m showed no statistical differences. No statistical differences were observed between C. boranensis and C. corrugate at 8ds/m for root length and density. As salinity increased to 24dS/m, the root dry matter decreased for all species. Generally, C. habessinica showed best tolerance in salinity increment followed by
C. boranensis and C. corrugate respectively. So, we can conclude that C. habessinica better fit to restore dryland ecosystem with salt affected soils at least with less or equal to the current level of salinity used in the experiment.

It was a factorial experiment laid out in split plot design with three replications of four irrigation regimes and five N levels. Data on yield and yield components were collected and analyzed. Application of N at different levels and irrigation regime increased total and marketable bulb yield over the unfertilized plot, and their interaction showed a significant effect on the average bulb weight; mean bulb diameter and water productivity of onion. Further increase in N application beyond 100 kg Nha –1 and irrigation beyond 75% crop evapo-transpiration ETc did not bring about significant changes. Therefore, 100 kg Nha-1 and irrigation at 75% ETc can be tentatively recommended for onion production to the studied area.

A total of 24 sample plots were collected by Stratified random sampling method. After measuring
the required parameters; BC (above and below ground), and SOC, texture, bulk density and pH
were analyzed. The results showed that, BC significantly varied with land use types. On the other
hand, the SOC under native forest and coffee based agroforestry has no significant difference,
while it shows significant difference under the annual crop field. The present study indicated that,
the total carbon stock in the native forest is greater than coffee based agroforestry which shows
much greater difference than annual crop field. This may indicate that, conversion of annual crop
field to coffee based agroforestry can increases carbon stock and sequestration potential in the
study area.
Keywords: annual crop field; biomass carbon; coffee based agroforestry; land use change; native forest; soil organic carbon.

INTRODUCTION
In Ethiopia, population increases in alarming rate and this
increasing population pressure is identified as the major
driving factor of deforestation (Badege and Abdu, 2003).
Poverty and natural resources/environmental degradation
tend to negatively reinforce each other; that is, as the
land is degraded, agricultural productivity is lowered,
resulting in decreasing incomes and food security and
vice versa (Wakene and Heluf, 2000). This has resulted
in migration of rural poor to urban centers; increased
cultivation of marginal lands; encroachment into forest
increased in the Agroforestry based soil and water values of
bulk density. In contrast, no-SWC land use type showed the
lowest value in moisture content but with highest bulk
density value. The significant variations in soil moisture
content among the treatments can be attributed to
differences in soil carbon contents, and other soil attributes
found within the Agroforestry based land use systems
compared to the conditions in the non- Agroforestry based
practices. It can therefore be recommended that effective
SWC measures should be integrative systems where one
can integrated both the physical and biological SWC
practices simultaneously for improved land health.
