Land degradation due to lack of sustainable land management practices is oneof the critical challenges in many developing countries including Ethiopia.This study explored the major determinants of farm-level tree-plantingdecisions as a land management strategy in a typical farming and degradedlandscape of the Modjo watershed, Ethiopia. The main data were generated fromhousehold surveys and analysed using descriptive statistics and a binarylogistic regression model. The model significantly predicted farmers' tree-planting decisions (χ2 =  37.29, df  =  15, P < 0.001). Besides, the computed significant value of the model revealed that all theconsidered predictor variables jointly influenced the farmers' decisions toplant trees as a land management strategy. The findings of the studydemonstrated that the adoption of tree-growing decisions by local land userswas a function of a wide range of biophysical, institutional, socioeconomicand household-level factors. In this regard, the likelihood of householdsize, productive labour force availability, the disparity of schooling age,level of perception of the process of deforestation and the current landtenure system had a critical influence on tree-growing investment decisions inthe study watershed. Eventually, the processes of land-use conversion andland degradation were serious, which in turn have had adverse effects onagricultural productivity, local food security and poverty trap nexus. Hence,the study recommended that devising and implementing sustainable landmanagement policy options would enhance ecological restoration and livelihoodsustainability in the study watershed
