Runoff-harvesting systems (RHSs) design to collect runoff water and nutrients from small
rocky watersheds into ponds bounded by soil dikes (termed limans) that are used as an
afforestation grove. Our study aimed at quantifying the influence of RHSs using two
indicators: soil quality (SQ) and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) in a small
watershed scale. The SQ index was estimated by 13 physical, chemical, and biological soil
properties. ANPP was evaluated by a spaceborne-derived vegetation index of total biomass …
