[Objective] Jinsha River Basin is an ecologically fragile area in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and an important area for the development of the western region. Quantitative evaluation of soil erosion change and spatial distribution in Jinsha River Basin is of great significance for local soil erosion control and ecological restoration and protection. [Methods] Chinese Soil Loss Equation(CSLE)model was used to carry out quantitative estimation and analysis of soil erosion in Jinsha River Basin from 2010 to 2020. [Results] The obvious changes in Jinsha River Basin from 2010 to 2020 were the net decrease of grassland area by 6 059.7 km2, the net increase of cultivated land area by 2 294.38 km2, and the decrease of vegetation coverage area above 0.6 by 57.70%. The soil erosion modulus of Jinsha River Basin in 2010 and 2020 were 17.06 t/(hm2·a)and 24.56 t/(hm2·a), respectively. In the past ten years, the erosion grade changed from low intensity to high intensity, and the erosion grade in the upper and middle reaches of Jinsha River Basin(Zhimenda in Qinghai to Shigu section in Yunnan and Shigu to Pingshan section in Sichuan)changed from mild level to moderate level. In terms of spatial distribution of erosion intensity in Jinsha River Basin, the proportion of erosion amount on the slopes with above 8° in 2010 and 2020 was 92.71% and 93.80%, respectively. The increment of erosion modulus between 3 000 m and 4 000 m was remarkable, and the increase was 63.5%. [Conclusion] The change in land use and vegetation cover in Jinsha River Basin leads to the obvious transfer of soil erosion from mild level to moderate level. We should focus on the change trend of soil erosion in different slopes and elevation zones of Jinsha River Basin in order to provide data support for soil erosion control.
