The Quantitative assessment on economic loss of eco-environmental degradation is one of the most important parts of sustainable development studies. Recently, a number of scholars have made some worthwhile attempts at this field. Aiming at these discussions, the author pointed out the shortage of using one year as a study stage and defined restoring coefficient. Meanwhile discussed that how to assess the economic loss with function coefficient if there are many indexes but little quantitative data. On the other hand,1986-1996, ten years that the most serious destroyed was selected as a case study, the paper calculated direct and indirect economic loss of ecological system and increased cost so as to recover the ecological function of Western Grassland in the last ten years. The results show that the economic loss of grassland degradation achieves 21.228 billions Yuan RMB.
