(2013) made an inventory of methods for valuing soil ecosystem services and Dominati et al. (2014) demonstrated the application of appropriate methods for the economic valuation of 14 services provided by one soil under a dairy use. Samarasinghe and Greenhalgh (2013) demonstrate that specific SNC stocks can be valued, using data on market land values under specific land use. This is an important result but it is desirable to develop more direct measures that are less affected by the many factors that drive land prices.
