LENG Shuying;SONG Changqing. REVIEW OF LAND SURFACE GEOGRAPHICAL PROCESS STUDY AND PROSPECTS IN CHINA[J]. Advances in Earth Science, 2005, 20(6): 600-606.

Earth surface process study has been more and more important in the earth system study during the last ten years. It combines natural process and human process organically so as to meet the challenge of environmental change. Natural process and human process are included in geographical process. By reviewing the main fields of international scientific projects related to land surface process study, the study focus has been moving from nature to the combination of nature and human, from inorganic to the combination of inorganic and organic, from single element or process analysis to multiple elements or processes analysis and synthesis, from macro scale to the combination of macro and micro scales. In the future years, land surface geographical process study in China should organize scientific problems closely around pattern and process, process and effect, synthesis and integration so as to improve the level of Chinese geographical process study and push forward the basic study of Chinese geography to a higher level.
