Abstract: This paper outlined history of soil erosion research in China. Based on analyzing challenges and opportunities of soil erosion research, strengthening research fields on soil erosion research were proposed, including soil erosion processes and mechanisms, soil erosion prediction models, environmental impact assessment of soil erosion, soil erosion disaster forewarning, the major project and global change impact on erosive environment, and new technologies and methods for soil erosion research.
