      abstract     = {A tef-Acacia decurrens-charcoal production rotation system,
                      a unique indigenous climate-smart agricultural technology of
                      northwest Ethiopia, is increasingly seen as a promising
                      strategy for improving soil properties. This study
                      investigated the effect of the tef-Acacia decurrens-charcoal
                      production rotation system on soil properties. In total, 112
                      soil samples (7 treatments × 4 depths × 4 replicates) were
                      collected and analyzed inside and outside randomly selected
                      charcoal production spots in the tef-Acacia
                      decurrens-charcoal production rotation system and from an
                      adjacent tef monocropping system. The soil properties
                      examined generally exhibited significant variation between
                      the tef monocropping system and the tef-Acacia
                      decurrens-charcoal production rotation system, and between
                      soil depths, as well as with respect to charcoal production
                      spots in the system. The system resulted in a significant
                      increase in SOC, TN, available phosphorus, available sodium,
                      available nitrate and ammonium in general, and in total
                      contents of K, P and Mn in the 0–20 cm depth. Charcoal
                      production in the system significantly increased the total
                      content of P, Al, and Fe, as well as the available nitrate
                      and sulfate in the charcoal production spot. The variation
                      in soil proprieties between the land use types and with
                      respect to charcoal production spots in the TACP system were
                      possibly due to the effect of the Acacia decurrens trees,
                      and fire and fine charcoal residues from charcoal
                      production, indicating the capacity of the tef-Acacia
                      decurrens-charcoal production rotation system to improve
                      soil properties.},
