Abstract

The soils of the mountain-meadow zone of the south-eastern slope of the Greater Caucasus are spread at an altitude of 1800-3500 m above sea level under giant and subalpine meadows. Primary, grassy, gray mountain-meadow subtypes of mountain meadow-soil type are spread in the area. The total area is 75,290.0 hectares, which is 13.4% of the total area, of which 1,7582.5 hectares (23.4%) are unwashed, 2,4670.0 hectares (32.8%) are weak, 19,740.0 hectares (28.2%) – medium, 13297.5 hectares (17.6%) are subject to severe erosion.
