    Annotation This paper deals with main types of operational-territorial units used in the spatial analysis of slope erosion development. The analysis of the entire system of operational-territorial units used in the study of slope erosion processes in the plains of the temperate zone of the Earth, shows that a drainage (river) basin is an operational and territorial unit most suitable for this purpose. This is because of the fact that the basins are a geosystemic formation and reflect the specific nature of surface slope runoff, due to which a range of erosional processes occurs. An important feature of the basin approach is the simplicity in defining these units in the geographical space and the reasonable transition to other scale levels due to hierarchy feature of river basins. Their limited use is associated with the landscape specifics of the terrain: such as ice and arid zones of the Earth.
