- Abstract:
-
Based on RUSLE model and GIS (geographical information system) technology, the losses of soil erosion of Anhui province was estimated. Then based on the present situation of soil erosion and basic principles and methods of environmental economics, five kinds of material loss brought by soil erosion including the nutrition (the amount of N,P,K and organic matter),water loss, soil detained and deposited were chosen as the index for assessment economic costs. By using the methods of superseded expenditure,shadow engineering works and opportunity cost, the monetized value of soil erosion of Anhui province was estimated. The results showed that the total economic loss value of soil erosion of Anhui was 1 730.819 7 million Yuan in 2000. The value of nutrition loss reached 90.41%, is the main pattern. We also included that the economic loss of Anhui was lower at north area and high at south area.
