This study investigated effects of five soil management (SM) practices on surface runoff and soil water content, which were (i) full ground mulching with jujube branches (BM), (ii) strip tillage only (ST), (iii) jujube branch mulch + strip tillage (BMT), (iv) jujube branch mulch + strip white clover (Trifolium repens L.) cover (BMWC), and (v) no cover (NC) as a control.
