Effect of Terracing on Soil Moisture of Slope Farmland in Northeast China’s Black Soil Region

The impact of terracing construction on the soil moisture content slope farmland was analyzed at three sites in northeast China’s black region, across a range latitudes and hydrological, temperature quality conditions. At each research site, with compared to unterraced similar shape gradient. During wet crop growth period (July) dry postharvest (October) 2022, TRIME-PICO64TDR measuring instrument used measure depths 0–60 cm. Terracing increased by up 2.83 percentage points during 1.69 period. had significant volumetric shallower layer (0–30 cm) growing period, deeper (30–60 weakens effect position moisture, reducing differences among different positions. difference water conservation benefit is mainly related quality: lower bulk density higher silt clay is, greater for retaining moisture. findings this study can be beneficial guiding management measures arable regions around world.
