Short summary
By using the RUSLE model and GIS, changes of sediment yield and sediment transport were assessed in Zhifanggou watershed. The obtained results were basically consistent with the measured values. From 2000 to 2010, the amount of soil erosion was reduced yearly. The soil erosion intensity of terraced fields, sloping land and construction land were mainly very low due to soil and water conservation measures. And soil erosion increases with increasing slope in the range of 0–15°.
