In order to elucidate the effect of equal high reverse slope treatment on soil water retention, the small watershed of Yizhe in Songhuaba Dam in Kunming northern suburb of central Yunnan was selected as a research area in this study, and the influence of such contour reverse-slope terrace on soil water characteristic curve of 0-100 cm soil in sloping farmland was studied. Vanfit software was used to obtain Van Genuchten model parameters, and the relationship between water retention and its influencing factors in each soil layer was expounded. The results showed that:(1) the effect of contour reverse-slope terrace on the upper slope was not significant (p>0.05), its effect on the middle slope was significant (p<0.05), and its effect on the lower part of the slope was very significant (p<0.01); (2) in relation to the parameters of soil water characteristic curve, the bulk density and the content of sand grain were negatively correlated, and total porosity, capillary porosity and particle content were positively correlated; (3) the determining coefficients of the model fitting soil moisture characteristic curve were higher than 0.85, and the R2 was higher reliability; the n values of the undisturbed slope cultivated land (1.719 6) and the contour reverse-slope trrace treatment slope cultivated land (1.773 5) were the largest in the 10-20 cm soil layer; the change of soil moisture content in sloping farmland with contour reverse-slope terrace was greater than that of intact sloping farmland; (4) soil water availabilities is higher in 10-20 cm soil layers of the slope farmland of the original sloping farmland and the contour reverse-slope terrace treatment slope cultivated land, and water holding capacity in 40-60 cm soil layer of the slope farmland treated with contour reverse-slope terrace was strong, and water holding capacity in the 20-40 cm soil layer of the undisturbed sloping farmland was strong. In conclusion, sloping farmland soil under the treatment of contour reverse-slope terrace had the significant effect on the performance of soil water retention, which played an important role in improving the surface runoff interception, increasing water infiltration and reducing soil loss.
