The adso rbed phosphorus loss is one of the adverse effects of soil erosion, which results in not only the degradation of soil fert ility, but also the deterioration of water environment. The adsorbed phosphorus loss is recognized as an important part of non-po int source phosphorus pollution. Studying the adsor bed phosphorus loss by the investig ation of soil erosion is a commonly used method. This article summarizes the researches at home and abroad and analyzes the China. scurrent problems of adso rbed phosphorus loss together with soil erosion. Domestic study of soil erosion and adsorbed phosphorus loss doesnot match the requirements of practical applications. On one hand, there are the needs to increase number of experiments, enhance works on experiments, adhere to continuous monitoring, and deeply understand China's soil erosion and adsorbed phosphorus loss mechanisms. On the other hand, we should actively construct a model suitable to national circumstances, build the basis of information databases, and study the applicability and difference of foreign models.
