The spatial relationship between soil erosion and its geographical factors was carried out. The results showed that soil erosion exhibited high selectivity of geographical factors. 94.5% of soil erosion occurred in areas less than 500 m, 85.3% presented on the areas between 15°- 35°, 57.2% distributed on southern slope, and 76.8% of strong erosion were found in garden land.
