Erosion of soluble matters has a great influence on soil erosion and the water environment in river basins.From the view of behaving forms of soluble matter erosion(macroscopic and microscopic),the micro interface mode(adsorption and desorption) in erosion is introduced.The factors influencing the erosion process are summarized and the effects of main factors on erosion are analysed.Then,the numerical models for the macro transfer of soluble matters are reviewed.Finally,the problems and future trend in investigating erosion of soluble matters are proposed.
