Abstract:[Objective] Remote sensing technology was applied to monitor soil and water loss in Fujian Province, in order to provide certain scientific foundation for soil and water conservation in study area.[Methods] The quantitative computation of soil erosion in the study area based on universal soil loss equation (USLE) and remote sensing data of Landsat-8 OLI at 2014 can be inspected with the GIS spatial analysis and mathematical statistic methods to get the space distribution characteristics of soil and water loss in the field.[Results] The total area and rate of soil and water loss in 2014 of Fujian Province were 10 939.8 km2 and 8.93%, respectively. Mild erosion played a dominant role and covered 82.3% of the erosive area. Areas having intensive erosion or more intensive level mainly concentrated in Ningde, Nanping, Zhangzhou and Longyan. The erosion area of 22 key soil erosion counties was 4 786.65 km2 and the loss rate was 10.54%, accounting for 43.76% of the total erosion area in Fujian Province.[Conclusion] The total 8 954.35 square kilometers erosion area mainly located at altitude of 200~1 000 m and makes up 81.85% of the total erosion area. Slope gradient was found closely associated with soil and water loss, and soil erosion primarily happens in place of 8°~25 ° slope. The loss area on that slope was 69 871.71 km2, accounting for 57.23% of the total erosion area. The bare land and forest land are prone to soil erosion, 30.99% and 9.47% of the two lands were in erosion.
