Which outcome follows from intensive terrace farming exceeding the hydric interval?

💡 Explanation

Soil erosion occurs because exceeding the hydric interval triggers a SLIPS mechanism in terrace construction practices; the soil's shear strength decreases. Therefore, collapses and slides become increasingly hazardous rather than benefiting or promoting crop production/nitrogen fixation.
