Land-use changes accelerated by intensive human activities are a dominant anthropogenic factor inducing soil erosion globally. However, the impacts of land-use-type changes on soil erosion dynamics over a continuous period for constructing a sustainable ecological environment has not been systematically quantified. This study investigates the spatial\u2013temporal dynamics of land-use change and soil erosion across a specific area in China with water\u2013wind crisscross erosion during three periods: 1995\u20131999, 2000\u20132005, and 2005\u20132010. We analyzed the impacts of each land-use-type conversion on the intensity changes of soil erosion caused by water and wind, respectively. The major findings include: (1) land-use change in the water\u2013wind crisscross erosion region of China was characterized as cultivated land expansion at the main cost of grassland during 1995\u20132010; (2) the strongest land-use change moved westward in space from the central Loess Plateau area in 1995\u20132005 to the western piedmont alluvial area in 2005\u20132010; (3) soil erosion area is continuously increasing, but the trend is declining from the late 1990s to the late 2000s; (4) the soil conservation capability of land-use types in water\u2013wind crisscross erosion regions could be compiled from high to low as high coverage grasslands, medium coverage grasslands, paddy, drylands, low coverage grasslands, built-up lands, unused land of sandy lands, the Gobi Desert, and bare soil. These findings could provide some insights for executing reasonable land-use approaches to balance human demands and environment sustainability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11141732","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,23]],"date-time":"2019-07-23T10:44:51Z","timestamp":1563878691000},"page":"1732","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Impacts of Land-Use Changes on Soil Erosion in Water\u2013Wind Crisscross Erosion Region of China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1866-3999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Plant Biology, Center for Spatial Analysis, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019, USA"}]},{"given":"Weiwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215011, China"}]},{"given":"Zengxiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1008","DOI":"10.1111\/gcb.13068","article-title":"Global change pressures on soils from land use and management","volume":"22","author":"Smith","year":"2016","journal-title":"Glob.
