Abstract [Background] Soil erosion is a grave threat to the sustainability of human society and economy. Soil water erosion, as a widespread soil erosion type in the world, is one of the main forms of soil degradation. In recent years, under the pressure of global climate change and frequent human disturbance, the risk of water erosion is further aggravated. However, the existing review articles in water erosion have not yet analyzed the literature publication dynamics and hot keyword evolution characteristics in recent years, and there is a lack of systematic collation of research hotspots in recent years. [Methods] Searching pattern in the Web of Science core collection database was Topic=soil water erosion or Topic=soil erosion by water or Topic=hydraulic erosion or Topic=soil hydraulic power erosion. This paper applied CiteSpace, a knowledge map tool, to conduct a bibliometric analysis of soil water erosion research from 2009 to 2018, revealing the literature output trends, subject distribution and hotspot keywords. [Results] There are 5 aspects on soil water erosion research in the past decade: 1) Spatial distribution models and stable isotope analysis methods have been widely used in recent years, and erosion models combined with modern information technology is an inevitable way to conduct multi-scale research. 2) Climate change has a great effect on runoff and water erosion by changing precipitation, CO2 concentration and temperature, and water erosion is affected by land use change for influencing on soil properties and surface runoff distribution simultaneously. 3) Water erosion causes significant effect on soil physical, chemical and biological properties, resulting in decline of agricultural productivity, non-point source pollution and deterioration of water quality occurs by sediment transport. Water erosion process significantly changes the lateral flow and redistribution of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, affecting the biogeochemical cycle. 4) Soil water erosion is a multi-scale process with scale dependence. How to systematically study multi-scale water erosion process and its scale effect is the core issue that researchers concern. 5) The study of soil water erosion control has been extended from the plot scale to the regional, national and global scale. The researchers conducted targeted studies on engineering practices, biological practices, and soil management practices. The Loess Plateau is a hot spot area for water erosion control and sustainable development. [Conclusions] Regarding the future research of soil water erosion, on the basis of improving the simulation accuracy of soil erosion model and developing large-scale water erosion model, it is necessary to deepen the study of soil carbon cycle under water erosion, to innovate the scale conversion technology method of soil erosion analysis, and to gradually develop the theories and methodological system of soil water erosion prevention and control that adapts to complex environment and enhances human welfare and targets for sustainable development goals.
