Based on the interpretation of the remote sensing images of 1987, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 years in Qinghai Lake basin, we investigated the difference of soil particle size between unchanged perennial farmland and permanent grassland during nearly 30 years on the north of Qinghai Lake, which has been severely affected by human activities and the desertification has been intensified. The results showed that composition of soil particle size in the unchanged grassland and farmland belonged was dominated by sand clay, but the compositions of soil sand, silt and clay sizes were significantly different, the contents of soil silt and clay on the grassland were greater than those in the farmland; the content of soil sand on the grassland was less than that in the farmland, indicating that the soil average particle size on the grassland was smaller; degree of sorting was better; soil particle size followed the normal distribution as well as peak value was moderate. For the farmland, soil average particle size and degree of sorting were converse, soil particle size more deviated positive values. In the soil profile, the difference of soil particle size between the unchanged grassland and farmland existed in the 30—35 cm depth, the difference was significant above 30 cm depth, but it was weak below 30 cm depth.
