Soil erosion is one of the main causes of soil degradation and soil fertility decline, which directly affects the sustainable development of regional ecological economy. Based on RUSLE model, CA Markov model and LMDI model, we studied the spatial change and prediction of soil erosion on the south slope of Qilian Mountain from 2000 to 2019, and the quantitatively analyzed the soil erosion change characteristics and influencing factors under different topographic conditions, so as to provide reference for soil and water conservation and control in the study area. The results show that:(1)the soil erosion modulus decreased from northwest to southeast, and the overall increase rate was 0.064 5/a;(2)the change of soil erosion could be divided into two stages: 2000—2005 was the aggravation stage of soil erosion, and 2005—2019 was the mitigation stage of soil erosion;(3)from 2019 to 2027, although soil erosion tended to reduce, it was also necessary to prevent the transformation from low-level to high-level erosion below extreme intensity;(4)the soil erosion modulus increased with the increase of altitude and slope; the soil erosion modulus reached to the maximum in the area with altitude of 4 700~5 200 m and slope>30°, which were 10 460.72 and 7 256.32 t/(km2·a), respectively; the amount of soil erosion decreased with the increase of slope, and the order of soil erosion in different slope directions was west>north>south>east>horizontal direction;(5)the impact of vegetation on soil erosion must be positive, while rainfall does not necessarily aggravate soil erosion, and soil erosion is less affected by vegetation and rainfall, which is mainly distributed in Menyuan County. In conclusion, soil erosion on the southern slope of Qilian Mountains has been well controlled in recent years, and soil erosion can be classified and controlled according to specific environmental conditions.
