"Biological terracing brings deciduous banking into full play. Uphill swales filled in with woodsy matter in dry areas can be used to retain moisture for trees planted on a slope. Conversely, the very ground being cleared to make way for an orchard (where rainfall is not an issue) can provide a similar mycorrhizal resource to build up the planting terrace in the first place."
