Abstract：Soil erosion is the main cause for land degradation and has become one of the major global environmental problems. Understanding and standardizing soil erosion terms are of great importance to soil erosion research, soil erosion survey, as well as soil and water conservation planning. In the current study, a few common soil erosion terms were classified into 6 groups and the discriminations within each group were thoroughly discussed. These groups of terms included 1) soil erosion, soil loss, and soil and water losses; 2) ancient erosion and modern erosion; 3) geological erosion and accelerated erosion; 4) sheet erosion, raindrop splash erosion, surface erosion and interrill erosion; 5) rill erosion, ephemeral gully erosion, gully erosion and tile back landform; and 6) modern incised valley, ancient incised valley and river valley. Besides illustrating the connection and difference within each group, their implications for soil and water conservation were also analyzed.
