Impacts of land use and land cover changes on carbon stocks (1992-2052) Using geospatial technologies in Gena district, Southwest Ethiopia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Land uses offer considerable capacity for both short-term and long-term carbon storage. However, human-induced land use/land cover (LULC) changes affect the carbon stock under different land uses. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the impacts of observed and predicted LULC changes on carbon stocks from 1992 to 2052 in the Gena district, Southwest Ethiopia. The supervised maximum likelihood classification technique was employed to classify LULC from Landsat imagery, while the CA-Markov and Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) models were utilized for LULC and carbon stock prediction, respectively.Carbon stock was analyzed using samples from five carbon pools (aboveground, belowground, litter, deadwood, and soil) across five major land use types (forest, shrubland, grassland, farmland and settlement, and bareland).Aboveground carbon stocks of trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 2.5 cm were calculated using empirical equations based on DBH and height measurements. Between 1992 and 2022, the areas of grassland, forestland, and shrubland declined by 58.5%, 48.15%, and 33.48%, respectively.. In contrast, waterbodies increased by thirty-four times, while bareland and farmland and settlement increased by threefold. These trends are predicted to continue for the next thirty years, except for grassland, which has shown an upward trend. The estimated mean total carbon stocks in the forests, shrubs, grasslands, farmlands and settlements, and barelands were 374.35 ± 36.47Ctha
