Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Figure 2 - there is an error in indicating the e) part, in the figure it is reported as f)

The authors should consider and include more specific explanation about the Sediment Delivery Ratio in their soil erosion computation (this normally decrease the erosion rate of 50% meanwile in their study seems less than 40%) unless they want to indicate only the Gross Erosion. This last part should be better expressed in the text.

Reviewer 2 Report

This paper aimed to map soil erosion changes (1990-2020) based on RUSLE model across 13 the Pearl River Basin. It necessitated the understanding of 80 the status and dynamics of soil erosion to support sustainable basin development and 81 environmental protection in the Pearl River Basin.

I really appreciate the contributions of this article, including the overall construction of the article, the data collection and processing, the selection of soil erosion calculation method (RUSLE), and especially the discussion part of the article. On the whole, I think it is a very perfect and practical model paper.
