Soil erosion is an important factor in destroying land resources in the Loess Plateau. In order to understand the current situation of soil erosion in Yangling District of the Loess Plateau, the temporal and spatial distributions of soil erosion were analyzed using GIS and RS techniques. T General Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was also used to evaluate the erosion intensity and its temporal and spatial variability. The results showed that the soil erosion in Yangling District was mainly dominated by slightly erosion and mild erosion. From 2010 to 2014, the proportion of soil erosion intensity was basically stable. The relationships between soil erosion and slope and elevation indicated that the gentle slope of less than 15° in Yangling District was dominated by slight and light erosion. With the increases of slope, the slight erosion decreased, and the ratios of strong, extremely intense and severe erosions increased. The areas of soil erosion intensity showed a trend of decreasing with the increase of elevation, and the peaks were mostly distributed in the 500~550 m elevation zone.
