Soil　erosion　constitutes　a　critical　environmental　issue　with　far-reaching　ramifications.　Vegetation　cover　has　been　identified　as　a　key　factor　in　mitigating　soil　erosion.　This　study　utilized　remote　sensing　data　and　cloud　computing　resources　provided　by　Google　Earth　Engine　(GEE)　to　compute　the　land　cover　classification　and　Fractional　Vegetation　Cover　(FVC)　of　the　Minjiang　River　Basin　in　2020.　Subsequent　to　the　utilization　of　the　CSLE　model　incorporating　precipitation　data,　Digital　Elevation　Model　(DEM)　data,　and　other　relevant　data,　an　assessment　of　soil　erosion　in　the　Minjiang　River　basin　during　2020　was　conducted.　Furthermore,　the　correlation　between　FVC　and　soil　erosion　modulus　was　quantitatively　examined.　Our　findings　demonstrate　that　the　predominant　land　cover　type　in　the　Minjiang　River　basin　is　forest　and　grassland,　followed　by　arable　land,　with　water　having　the　smallest　coverage.　Over　65%of　the　study　are　a　exhibits　a　FVC　exceeding　0.8,　indicative　of　a　generally　high　level　of　vegetation　coverage.　The　soil　erosion　modulus　exhibited　a　marked　decline　with　increasing　FVC　within　the　FVC　intervals　of　0-0.15　and　0.45-0.8.　While　the　change　of　soil　erosion　modulus　with　FVC　under　other　ranges　was　relatively　flat.　As　such,　erosion　control　measures　may　be　more　effective　when　implemented　in　the　FVC　ranges　of　0-0.15　and　0.45-0.80.　These　findings　provide　decision-making　references　for　governmental　departments　to　formulate　targeted　soil　and　water　conservation　measures.　©　COPYRIGHT　SPIE.　Downloading　of　the　abstract　is　permitted　for　personal　use　only.
