Abstract:Terracing is an important measure to conserve water and soil on the Loess Plateau. Previous studies have showed that due to extreme rainstorms and a lack of maintenance, loess terraces have experienced degradation predominantly as collapses and sinkholes. Investigating the hydrological processes associated with terrace degradation is vital to understand terrace degradation mechanisms and maintain terraced landscape sustainability. Using a high‐resolution digital elevation model (DEM) based on unmanned aerial v… Show more
