Steps to reproduce
Following a regional survey, five types of farmlands were selected for sample collection, with three spatial replicates for each farmland type. The selected sites include: Maize slope sites (MS) refer to sloped farmlands cultivated with maize (Zea mays), featuring a slope length of 70 m and an average slope angle of 10°. Maize terrace sites (MT) represent sloped farmlands converted into terraced fields for maize cultivation, with a slope length of 40 m. Each terrace is 5 m in width and 1.4 m in height. Citrus slope sites (CS) refer to sloped farmlands planted with mandarin, having a slope length of 40 m and an average slope angle of 20°. Citrus terrace sites (CT) represent sloped farmlands converted into terraced fields for mandarin cultivation, having a slope length of 50 m. Each terrace is 5 m in width and 1.4 m in height. Maize and citrus terrace sites (MCT) represent sloped farmlands converted into terraced fields with mixed planting of maize and mandarin.
