This paper summarizes the research progress of global soil and water conservation discipline based on the research areas, and provides a scientific basis for scientific researchers to understand the frontier and development of soil and water conservation discipline and to carry out targeted research. Using the data of four international citation databases, the research areas of global soil and water conservation discipline 2006-2015 is analyzed and studied based on the informetrics. In 2006-2015, the research literature output of soil and water conservation in the world has been relatively concentrated in the United States and China. mainly focusing on six research areas of environmental science and ecology, agriculture, water resources, geology, engineering and physical geography. Global climate change, human activity, desertification and interrelationship study, the modeling of soil erosion and the assessment of environmental and ecological impact caused by soil erosion is a hot topic. And The Loess Plateau in China is the Regional focus of soil and Water Conservation Research. Desertification is the result of the common influence of global climate change and human activities, and the drylands development paradigm (DDP) is emerging. Soil erosion models related to climate, water, wind, debris flow and vegetation cover are the main research models and important methods of soil erosion research prediction and governance. The assessment mathods bused on Model, index threshold, modern technology and equipment are the main methods of environmental and ecological impact assessment caused by soil erosion. Environmental science and ecology, agriculture, water resources, geology, engineering and physical geography are the six research areas of global soil and water conservation discipline. Drylands Development Paradigm, Global climate change, human activity, desertification and interrelationship study, soil erosion modeling and environmental impact assessment caused by soil erosion is the frontier of research. The Loess Plateau in China is the Regional focus of soil and Water Conservation Research.
