Abstract: Soil erosion is very serious in China, and the development of soil erosion will result in soil nutrient loss, poor soils, land productivity reduction and other issues. The main factors that affect soil erosion and soil nutrient loss include rainfall, underlying surface condition and human factor. By summarizing research about soil nutrient loss under different underlying surfaces, the effects of the underlying surface on soil nutrient loss were analyzed, including vegetation, slope, slope length, soil moisture, soil particles and other factors. The current various measures, being tested or used in practice, for reducing or improving soil nutrient loss were summed up to provide a reference for future research work.
