Abstract :
Soil erosion is a natural phenomenon of the earth´s surface. Different degrees of soil erosion happen in everywhere except the permafrost area. When human society appears, soil erosion has become a dynamic process under the action of the natural and human activities. In recent years, the remote sensing technology (RS) and geographic information systems technology (GIS) have a significant development which making a variety of related spatial analysis as possible. So in this paper, these two technologies were used to monitor and analyze the change and development trend of Guyuan County´s soil erosion in 1998 and 2008.
