A second way to estimate the cost of the soil erosion is by estimating the impact of soil erosion on yield. The analysis is similar to the CSR analysis, but the difference in yield is the measure of the impact of erosion. This analysis includes continuous corn and a corn/soybean rotation.t this rate, the range in cost to the land owner per acre per year would be from $2.75 to $6.45 an acre. There is considerable difference between soils and counties with respect to the loss in value caused by erosion.
The aim of this study was a survey of the estimated costs of soil erosion, an issue of fundamental importance in view of the current worldwide discussions on sustainability. A list was drawn up of research papers on erosion (on-site and off-site effects) and their respective costs.
