摘要：Similarly as ecosystem, soil provides many services that in soil science are named soil functions. Besides biomass production, that is possible economically evaluate, the soil provides other ecological functions that are priceless for the society. Sustainability of societal development requires maintenance of soil quality and soil functions – especially the ecological ones. Valuation of soil and its ecological functions can serve as one step towards the forming of general attitude of society to the soil. This valuation seems as possible way for improvement of soil protection especially throgh modification of soil price at its permanent consumption but financial values should not to be used as a ground for forming ethical values, which are imminently connected with human approach towards soil and its degradation, and which are essentially needed by global society.
