To study the influences of terraced field construction and check-dam siltation on soil erosion of a watershed, the AA. built a simplified watershed model for the Loess Plateau hilly-gully region including terraced fields, slope farmlands, steep
with the increase in terraced field area percentage, while the soil erosion modulus below the edge of gully exhibited a linear decline along with the increase in siltation heigh.
