We studied morphological features of the structure of the profile of forest soils, their structural-aggregate composition, chemical, physical and chemical properties using standard methods. The differ-ences in the studied parameters depending on the position in the relief are defined. Research are pre-sented, which has high scientific and practical significance for studying the conditions of growth, spatial distribution, productivity, features of functioning of natural forest ecosystems and improving and detailing taxonomic position of soils of gulley and ravine complex.
