It’s big enough to get large temperature variances in a relatively small space
Not only could you grow a wider range of crops in it, but you can see how much easier it would be to study your crops and agricultural practices when growing in it.
Yup. These terraces also have tons of stone/gravel under the surface so they’re like big thermal batteries too. Important because this site is pretty high up in elevation.

Based on local sun/shade from other terrain, wind exposure, and changes in altitude across the levels?

Fascinating! I had no clue!
