Remote sensing vs. field-based monitoring of agricultural terrace degradation
International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2021 The degradation of agricultural terraces is considered a major challenge to soil and water conservation in steep-slope viticulture. Although terracing is a widespread conservation practice, its sustainability is threatened by adverse climatic and man ...

Environmental changes in Yellow River Delta with terrace construction and agricultural cropping [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Crude flats in delta areas are often saline–alkaline and unsuitable for agricultural cropping. In the 1990s, people residing in the Yellow River delta constructed terraces on the flats for agricultural development.
