Soil erosion and soil conservation in Jinta County in 2019 were quantitatively evaluated based on the InVEST model. The spatial distribution of soil erosion and soil conservation in Jinta County was analyzed. And the effects of different land use types and slopes on soil erosion as well as soil conservation were examined. The results showed that the total soil erosion and soil conservation in Jinta County in 2019 were 1. 91×107 t and 2. 70×106 t,re‐ spectively. The areas with high soil erosion intensity were mainly concentrated in Dingxin town and in Hangtian Town which was in the Badain Jaran Desert edge areas with serious desertification. The areas with strong soil conser‐ vation ability were mainly concentrated in the areas with large grassland coverage in the west of Dingxin Town. The soil erosion increased with the increase of slope. From the perspective of land use types,grassland had the best soil conservation ability,and the soil erosion of unused land dominated by bare rock and gravel land was much greater than that of other land use types.
