Rainwater harvesting capacity of soils subjected to reservoir tillage during rainfall on the Loess Plateau of China

Soil rainwater harvesting (SRWH) is an important process in rainfed farming areas. Improving the capacity for SRWH via tillage is essential in many parts of the world. In recent years, reservoir tillage (RT) has attracted attention because it was said that RT contributes to SRWH. The objectives of this study were to measure the cumulative soil-harvested rainwater (SHR) of slopes subjected to RT and to evaluate the contribution of RT to SRWH...
