Present status of East forest-steppe of Ukraine with reference to ravine-beam system of «Mitrishin ovrag »

The results of the field and analytical research stages regarding the assessment of the current state of eroded soil in the “MitrishinOvrag” ravine-beam system of the Dergachevsky district of the Kharkov region are presented. It is established, that the soil cover of the investigated areas is represented by varieties of washed and washed soils of slope soil formation, and the forest characteristics of these soils are determined. It is shown that on the lands of the ravine-beam system “MitrishinOvrag” at the present time there is a  rather constant process of soil formation, without active manifestation of erosion processes, which is confirmed by the results of analytical determinations of the granulometric composition, acidity level, total humus content and gross forms of NPK.
