TANG Xiaoming,LI Chang' an. REVIEW OF STUDY METHODS OF SOIL EROSION RATE[J]. Advances in Earth Science, 1999, 14(3): 274-278.

 In this paper, methods of measuring soil erosion rate which are used at present in the world are discussed . These methods are categorized into two main groups which are present soil erosion and historic soil erosion. The former include measurement method, remote sensing method, geochemistry method, physiognomy method, hydrology method and agrology method; the latter include terrace profile method and cosmogenic nuclides method. The last part of the paper discusses their application ranges, advantages and limitations.
