摘      要：This study explores the role of a traditional tillage method,i.e.,compensatory hoeing,for sustainable agro-ecosystem management in the hilly areas of the Chongqing municipality,south-western *** validate the effects of compensatory tillage on the terraced slopes,the tillage method of noncompensatory hoeing was conducted on a linear *** acquire information about 137 Cs inventories and soil texture,soil samples were collected by a core sampler with a 6.8-cm diameter at 5.0-m intervals along the toposequence and the linear slope in the dry season(March) of ***,a tillage erosion model was used for evaluating the spatial pattern of tillage *** 137 Cs data showed that on the terraced slope,soil was lost from the upper slope,and soil deposition occurred at the toe slope positions on each *** a result,abrupt changes in the 137 Cs inventories of soil were found over short distances between two sides of terrace *** obtained from the tillage erosion model and the 137 Cs data indicate that soil redistribution mainly results from tillage erosion in the terraced *** non-compensatory tillage caused soil redistribution on the linear slope,resulting in thin soil profile disappearing at the top and soil accumulating at the bottom positions of the linear *** result further validates that compensatory tillage could avoid the complete erosion of the thin soil layer at the summit ***,this traditional ***,i.e.,compensatory tillage,has maintained the soil quality at the summit of the slope in the past decades.
