Abstract

The article includes the research in Khevi region of Central Caucasus. Study area was divided by expositions (north and south), inclination (0-100, 10-300, >300) and altitude (1700-2000 m – subalpine forests, 2000-2200 m – subalpine meadows, 2200-2500 m – alpine meadows). The number of soil profiles as a result of division was consisted of 18. By comparing the profiles of high mountain soils to each other, they do not stand out by genetic individuality.
