“…However, with the cultivation of slopes as terraces, it has been possible to achieve an economically efficient production on slopes with more than 15% inclination. Terraces retain water and reduce soil erosion [25].…”

Intensive agriculture causes nutrient leaching and accelerates erosion processes, which threatens the good quality status of surface waters, as proposed by the European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive. The purpose of this study was to define the impact of two alternative agricultural land-use change scenarios defined in a Municipal Spatial Plan on surface water quality by using the Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) model. As experimental area, we chose a small Kožbanjšček stream catchment (1464 ha) situated in the Goriška Brda region in Slovenia. The area, due to favorable conditions for vineyards, is facing increasing deforestation. The change of 66.3 ha of forests to vineyards would increase the sediment, nitrate, and phosphorus loads in the stream by 24.8%, 17.1%, and 10.7%, respectively. With the implementation of vegetative buffer strips as a mitigation measure of the current situation, we could reduce the sediment, nitrate, and phosphorus loads by 17.9%, 11.1%, and 3.1%, respectively, while a combination of the two land-use change scenarios would result in a slight increase of the above-mentioned loads, corresponding to 0.61%, 2.1%, and 6.6%, respectively, compared to the baseline situation. The results confirm that, as we can increase pollution levels with deforestation, we can also reduce water pollution by choosing proper types of land management measures.

“…Despite the deficiencies indicated in the section on methodology and the significant differences between the pilot areas resulting from Slovenia's landscape and developmental diversity, our findings mostly agree with the hypothesis formulated at the beginning of the article. The typology of land-use change that we have developed sheds additional light on the land-use characteristics of Slovenian terraced landscapes that were already established earlier and presented in many studies (Petek 2007;Ažman Momirski et al 2008 . Specifically, it presents the differences between terraced and non-terraced land in these landscapes, which has never been done before.…”

“…The best-known protected terraced landscapes worldwide are mentioned in studies by Tarolli, Preti and Romano (2014), Peters (2015), Varotto (2015), and Kladnik, Šmid Hribar and Geršič (2017). In Slovenia, the first detailed study of agricultural terraces and terraced landscapes was conducted by Titl (1965) and Moritsch (1969) followed by Ažman Momirski et al (2008) significantly later. Terraced landscapes have also been explored by Ažman Momirski and Kladnik (2009;, Križaj Smrdel (2010), Ažman Momirski and Gabrovec (2014), Ažman Momirski and Berčič (2016), Geršič (2016), and Kladnik et al (2016).…”

“…The formation of terraces is a consequence of many factors. For example, terraces are one of the most obvious human interventions in the landscape and cover large areas of the Earth [2], they reduce slope gradient and length, they facilitate cultivation on steep slopes, and they have a generally positive effect on the integration of agricultural activities [3]: only well-lit grape leaves can be as photosynthetically active as possible [4].…”

With the introduction of mechanization in agriculture, the area of terraced slopes has increased. However, in most cases, the planning of terracing in practice remains experience-based, which is no longer effective from an agricultural, geological, and hydrological point of view. The usual method of building terraces, especially terraces with earth risers, is therefore outdated, and a new method must be found for planning and building terraced areas. In addition to geographical information system (GIS) tools, parametric design tools for planning terraced landscapes are now available. Based on the design approaches for a selected plot in the Gorizia Hills in Slovenia, where we used a trial-and-error method, we improved previous results by defining a model using a computer algorithm that generates a terraced landscape on a selected slope depending on various input parameters such as the height of the terrace slope, the inclination of the terrace slope, the width of the terrace platform, and the number of terraces. For the definition of the algorithm we used the visual program tool Grasshopper. By changing the values of the input data parameters, the algorithm was able to present combinatorial simulations through a variety of different solutions with all the corresponding statistics. With such results it is much easier to make a conscious decision on which combination of parameters is optimal to prevent landslides, plan adequate drainage, and control soil movements when building terraces. The controlled slope intervention is further optimized by the introduction of a usage index (Tx), defined as the quotient of the sum of all flat areas (terrace platforms) and the total area of the plot.
