Abstract
Terracing, an agricultural technique developed over thousands of years, has transformed landscapes and soils in many parts of the world. Terracing was a revolutionary approach in steep mountainous areas. Success in this activity requires substantial knowledge about soils and how to conserve and manage them on steep slopes, since mountain soils are commonly thin and vulnerable to erosion.
