Steep-slope agricultural landscapes often show a mosaic of diverse terraced and non-terraced hillslope configurations. The use and specific design of Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) measures such as earth bank or dry-stone wall terraces is often the result of agro-landscape evolution, and is shaped by various factors such as culture-historical values (eg traditional cultivation methods), agronomic development (eg mechanisation), site-specific conditions (eg local rainfall regime and construction materials), as well as environmental concerns (eg runoff and erosion control). Concerning the latter, the effectiveness of SWC measures is becoming increasingly urgent in the face of climate change expressed as extreme rainfall interspersed with drought periods, as commonly found in Mediterranean Europe. While past research has provided unique insights in the impact of several terracing practices on runoff and …
