摘要	Soil erosion has become more serious in semiarid areas around the world. However, the discrimination of the impact of concurrent climate change and human activity on soil erosion in a particular study area remains a challenge. Check dams are important engineering measures to prevent soil erosion on the Chinese Loess Plateau, and the dam sediments, as the product of soil erosion, are related to both climate change and human activities in a small watershed. The present study selected a check dams sediment profile in the upper Jinghe Basin on the Chinese Loess Plateau as a case study. Based on AMS C-14 dating and Cs-137 measurement, we established the soil erosion timescale and employed multiple methods including magnetic susceptibility, particle size, and minerals to trace the soil erosion history. We compared them with a local hydrometeorological record in the Jinghe Basin to explore the relationship between soil erosion and human activities. AMS C-14 and Cs-137 results indicated that the profile was deposited since 1953. The results of magnetic susceptibility, particle size, and minerals revealed 3 soil erosion phases during the last 60 years. Soil erosion in this region is not only related to precipitation changes, but also closely related to human activities. Prior to the Reform and Opening-up in China in 1978, climatic change played a leading role in check dams sedimentation and hydrological changes. Subsequently, despite accelerated soil erosion associated with the family contract responsibility system, the check dams, afforestation and a warmer climate mitigated the soil erosion to some extent, runoff and sediment load continued to decrease. Since 1999, China's Grain for Green project has greatly reduced the runoff and sediment load. However, the policy of filling gullies and creating land since 2010 should be reconsidered carefully in terms of all aspects, including the eco-environment, hydrological cycle, and economics.
