Terrace \nFarming is described as \"an earth embankment, or a combination ridge and channel, constructed across \nthe field slope\" ...[for the purpose of] reducing soil erosion and retaining runoff for moisture conservation. \nThis practice also is applied where soil erosion by water is a problem or there is a need to conserve water.\" \n(U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1995)  This data set was created with geographic information systems (GIS) \nand database management tools. The acres on which TF's are applied were totaled at the county level in the \ntabular NRI database and then apportioned to a raster coverage of agricultural land within the county based \non the Enhanced National Land Cover Dataset (NLCDe) 1-kilometer resolution land cover grids (Nakagaki, 2003). \nFederal land is not considered in this analysis because NRI does not record information on those lands.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9BQYEIO", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.4f8f2418-8c40-4af9-bb76-6af541fa2184.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_4f8f2418-8c40-4af9-bb76-6af541fa2184", "keyword": ["Agricultural Practices", "National Resources Inventory", "Terrace Farming", "USGS:4f8f2418-8c40-4af9-bb76-6af541fa2184", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-127.887748, 22.860749, -65.346810, 51.608770", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Terrace Farming on Agricultural Land in the Conterminous United States, 1992: National Resource Inventory Conservation Practice 600"}
