The paper presents a continuation of the study conducted in the paper "Study on the use of land scanning in soil erosion inventory works for sustainable agriculture in agritourism farms" because we found that it is very important to determine the land areas affected by the phenomenon of deep erosion, to present a modern, accurate and fast method of determining the volume of dislocated soil. It is known that a very large amount of soil is washed from that surface and with it the organic matter, which takes hundreds of years to recover, at its initial value. In order to support landowners who own such areas affected by erosion, we thought of presenting a precise and very effective method of monitoring the volume of soil displaced. The method that was imposed from the study is to determine the volume by terrestrial laser scanning, which also has a number of advantages, compared to the classical methods used so far. The terrestrial laser scanning through the large number of data collected from the field offers us the possibility to determine with great ease the total cubage of the studied negative relief form, but also gives the possibility to develop thematic digital 3D maps, which farmers can use in practicing sustainable agriculture, based on precision agriculture.
