To scientifically understand the impact of land use changes on watershed soil erosion, based on the changes in land use and the corresponding changes in soil erosion intensity in the Xiliugou watershed of the upper reaches of the Yellow River in 1980 and 2015, we studied the impact of land-use changes on soil erosion in the watershed. The results show that:(1)the converted areas of three main land use types of grassland, woodland, and cultivated land in the Xiliugou decreased in the order: grassland>forest land>cultivated land. The cultivated land was mainly converted into grassland, most of the forestland was converted to unused land, and most of the grassland was converted into cultivated land and unused land;(2)the average soil erosion modulus of Xiliugou watershed in 1980 and 2015 were 1 946.56 and 1 873.55 t/(km2·a), respectively, of which grassland had the largest soil erosion modulus, followed by forestland, and the amount of soil erosion mainly came from grassland;(3)In the past 35 years, slight erosion and mild erosion dominated in Xiliugou watershed, and the degree of soil erosion showed a downward trend on the whole; specifically, part of the area of grassland was transformed into forestland and cultivated land by 4.47 and 17.54 km2, respectively, indicating that the change of land use structure was an inevitable factor affecting the change of soil erosion in Xiliugou watershed. The research results are expected to provide references for soil erosion control in the small watershed of the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
