This thesis investigates the invasion rate of Prosopis juliflora, an invasive species, in the Amibara District of Ethiopia's Afar Regional State, focusing on land use/land cover changes from 1973 to 2004. It aims to analyze the rate of invasion using multi-temporal Landsat imagery data, identify the impacts of the invasion, and explore management techniques to mitigate its spread. The study aims to fill information gaps from image analysis through field surveys.
Chapter One introduces the research topic, outlining the background, problem statement, objectives, research questions, significance, scope, and limitations of the study. It highlights the increasing problem of P. juliflora invasion in Ethiopia, specifically in the Afar region, and its detrimental effects on various aspects of the ecosystem and local communities.
Chapter Two delves into the existing literature on invasive alien species, with a focus on the biology of P. juliflora, its impacts on various ecological and socioeconomic aspects, and existing management strategies. It provides a theoretical framework for understanding the invasion phenomenon and its implications.
Chapter Three describes the study area, the materials utilized for the research, and the employed methods. It details the use of Landsat imagery data, field surveys, image processing techniques, and data analysis methodologies for evaluating the rate of invasion, identifying impacts, and exploring management options.
Chapter Four presents the results of the study, encompassing land use/land cover change analysis, the identified impacts of P. juliflora invasion, and the exploration of effective management techniques. It discusses the findings in detail, drawing insights from the collected data and comparing them to existing literature.
This research focuses on the invasion of Prosopis juliflora, land use/land cover change analysis using satellite imagery and GIS, impacts of the invasion on biodiversity, livelihood, and human health, and exploration of management techniques for sustainable control. The study emphasizes the importance of community involvement and stakeholder participation for successful management strategies in the Amibara District of Ethiopia.
