With the TM-5 remote sensing data in 1990 and 2011 OF Jinghe watershed,a method to monitor desertification was built based on the Albedo-NDVI scatter plot. The results showed that the total area of desertification was reduced by 3. 54 * 10~4 ha from 1990 to 2011 in the study area. Although the moderate desertification was reduced at the speed of 0. 82% per year, the highly severe desertification,severe desertification and mild desertification were increased at the speed of 0. 74%,0. 38% and 0. 01% per year respectively. The growth degree of highly severe desertification was still more prominent. Although the active steps which were taken by government were counterbalancing desertification caused by climate change in recent years,the reversion of desertification was slowed down by the population pressure,the inefficient utilization of water resources,and so on. These human factors were the unfavorable factors in combating desertification,which needed to be overcome in the prevention and control of desertification in Jinghe watershed in the future.
