In order to study the centennial scale(i. e. throughout the 20th century)rainfall erosivity across the Loess Plateau, the accuracy of the CHELSAcrust data set was verified firstly. The rainfall erosivity was estimated using monthly precipitation data from the CHELSAcrust dataset. Finally, the spatiotemporal pattern of rainfall erosivity was assessed. The results show that:(1)the accuracy of the CHELSAcrust precipitation dataset is satisfactory(Nash coefficient=0.79; R2=0.82), which meets the requirements of a long-term analysis;(2)The average annual rainfall erosivity of the Loess Plateau was high in the southeast and low in the northwest, and the order of rainfall erodibility in different geographical regions of the Loess Plateau was rocky mountainous region>Fen-Wei river valley>hilly and gully loess region>high plain of Loess Plateau>deserts>Hetao alluvial plains; the significant changes of rainfall erosivity concentrated in the central region of the Loess Plateau, while the insignificant changes distributed in the marginal areas;(3)during 1901—2016, no significant changes or abrupt change points were found in the rainfall erosivity of the Loess Plateau; the changes of the rainfall erosivity could be categorized into three stages which were 1901—1930, 1930—1980 and 1980—2016;(4)the variation of rainfall erosivity on the Loess Plateau was periodicity, and the most significant change periodicity was found to be 2.62 years, and the periodicity of rainfall erosivity was basically consistent with that of climate factors. These results show that the variation of rainfall erosivity on the Loess Plateau from 1901 to 2016 is not significant, the change of rainfall erosivity is periodic and its spatial distribution is obviously different.
