External benefits of agricultural land preservation are essential for the agricultural land preservation compensation and the decision鄄making of rural鄄urban land conversion. However, estimating external benefits of agricultural land preservation faces two challenges. One is the proper identification of the influence extent of external benefits; the other the explicit measurement of the external benefits. While previous literatures focused on external benefits of agricultural land preservation in the term of environmental and social effects, few studies analyze the influence extent of external benefits and the method of external benefits measurement. This paper tries to fill this research gap. We defined and identified the external benefits extent of agricultural land preservation and measured external benefits of land preservation basing on investigation of WTPs( willingness to pay) for agricultural land preservation in Wuhan, China.First, we theoretically defined and identified influence extent of external benefits of agricultural land preservation.Based on Buchanan and Stubblebine忆s definition of externality, external benefits of agricultural land preservation in China are not being rural collective and farmers, but individual utilities from agricultural land preservation. From that definition,
