Soil erosion and sediment yield driven by land use cover changes; pose severe threats to ecological sustainability, agricultural productivity, watershed health. This study evaluates soil in the Dumuga Watershed, Ethiopia, from 1993 2023, with a focus on impact of changes. Utilising time series Landsat data (TM, ETM+, OLI/TIRS), analyzes key factors influencing erosion, including rainfall erosivity, erodibility, slope steepness, management, conservation practice. The findings highlight dramatic shift use, cultivated increasing 62.3% (915.3 km2) 77.0% (1,132.0 forest declining sharply 13.3% (196.0 3.8% (56.2 km2). transformation has exacerbated maximum loss rising 726.7 tons/ha/year 937.8 2023. area classified under very increased 41.0% 54.1%, directly correlating rise yield. These underscore urgent need for targeted strategies mitigate enhance retention, restore balance. Therefore, implementing integrated management approaches is essential safeguarding watershed's long-term productivity resilience.
