Abstract: The Soil Depletion Estimates model produces results that allow comparison of shortrun and longrun impacts on erosion and economic returns from alternative resource management systems. For each specified soil and resource management system, the model generates long-term onsite soil depletion effects and estimates the economic impacts over incremental time periods. This allows the selection of resource management systems based on economic profitability under alternative erosion control Objectives. Prioritizing soil-resource management system combinations for targeting the application of soil erosion control measures is also possible by ranking one of the model output coefficients.
