As an essential branch of the soil and water conservation monitoring, the macroscopic monitoring for soil conservation is the critical data source in China, which is undertaking the threaten of serious soil erosion. The macroscopic monitoring has significant difference with the microscopic monitoring in their aims, monitoring objects, methods, and technologies. The related research work include 2 fields: research about theory, and regional dynamic and relevant environmental impacts of soil erosion. Research on these theories develops fast in China, and RS GIS methods have been applied by most research work. However, the study on basic theories still is almost absent. With the national monitoring net for soil and water conservation constructing, and the Geomatics technologies developing, its booming perspective will be displayed.
