[Objective] Land use structure is an important factor affecting soil erosion. By analyzing the dynamics of land use in Jungar Banner

we aim to understand the trend of land use change and provide basic data for soil erosion analysis in this area.[Methods] The transfer matrix of land use was used to study the land use change in Jungar Banner.[Results] The land use change in Jungar Banner was not significant between 2014 and 2016. Woodland

grassland

water area and land for water conservancy facilities decreased by 16.02

12.66 and 2.48 km2

respectively. The land for residential

industrial

mining and transportation use

other land (sandy land and bare rock) and cropland increased by 18.63

10.53 and 1.72 km2

respectively. The soil erosion area was increased by 70.8 km2 in this region.[Conclusion] The reduced woodlands and grasslands in Jungar Banner are mainly converted into residential-industrial-mining-transportation land use and other land use types. Combined with soil erosion data

the increase of soil erosion in this area is mainly related to the decrease of woodland and grassland area

and changes in woodland and grassland coverage.
