Abstract: This paper simply introduced the basic characteristics of soil erosion on hillslopes, and summarized the three basic dynamics processes of soil erosion, including the process of runoff generation caused by rainfall, the process of sediment yield on hillslope by overland flow, and the process of runoff concentration and sediment transport on watersheds. Furthermore, the basic issues and key academic problems related to the three basic dynamics processes are analyzed summarily, and also the future trends of soil erosion dynamics are briefly discussed.
