Аннотация:Values of the humus horizons density of rural settlements soils correlate with the land use type and the age of reforestation. The density of the humus horizons of the former buildings and the dirt roads are significantly higher from those of the former gardens, orchards and arable lands (1,7 and 1,4 g/cm3, respectively). There is an increase in the physical sand content by about 10% in urbic horizons of rural residential areas on sandy loam rocks comparing to the postagrogenic ones. However, they do not differ from each other in terms of density that may be related with a higher (2-3 times) of organic carbon content in the urban horizons compared to the postagrogenic ones.
