It encourages development (Urbanization) It helps in security as there will be no hidden places. It reduces environmental pollution. It helps maintain healthy living.

It keeps the environment clean. Disadvantages: Destruction of different organisms natural stumplopping.barted Reading Time: 5 mins. The thesis discusses the problem of bush clearing as they affect soil quality, its productivity and environment in the semi-arid areas. In this case, land clearing came as a result of bush encroachment control mechanism. Bush encroachment is a form of land degradation present prominently in semi-arid areas.

Namibia is affected by bush. conducted on effect of bush clearing has reported that its positive impact on growth of herbaceous layer and soil condition of the rangelands [8,9]. Even though, these studies have confirmed that better improvement on rangelands, they failed to describe the management aspect of cleared bush. Hence, this study is designed with following objective as: stumplopping.bar: Worku B, Yohannes B.

lished, bush encroachment accelerates the decline in grass cover, while the intensification of grazing pressure reduces the fuel load required for fire to burn the bush cover (Scholes and Archer ). Clearing of bush-encroached areas may improve pasture productivity and range condition but little is known about the effects of bush.

Bush encroachment is one of the factors that cause rangeland degradation in most pastoral areas of east Africa.A study on effects of post bush clearing management practice on rangeland productivity and soil status wasconducted in Hammer district of South Omo zone, Southern Ethiopia with the objective of assessing effect post bushclearing management practice on the vegetation composition and soil stumplopping.bar: Worku B, Yohannes B.

influenced by habitat and the type of bush clearing treatment. Contrary to our expectations, most species occurred less frequently in burnt patches, and also less frequently in patches that had been bush cleared. Our results suggest that combined effects of fire and bush clearing may have positive effects on grazers and negative effects on stumplopping.bar: Lisa.
