ИСТИНА

Land degradation and pollution lead to serious productivity loss of ecosystems. In terms of economy it causes a significant monetary loss to landowners and the society. The damage calculation of land could be a reasonable tool for environmental responsibility. Three types of expenses seem to be included to calculate the loss of land at degradation process: soil remediation, recovery to its initial price, as well as the consideration of lost ecosystem functioning and services. We proposed approaches to evaluate ecosystem functions in terms of economy.
