The paper contains the information about state of anthropogenic degradation in the South part of the Greater Caucasus beginning from the mountain-meadow belts to the dry fields on the vertical zonation obtained as a result of field and laboratory researches. Different ecotopes were comparatively studied based on classical soil parameters and soil analysis. It was found that the mountain-forest soils in the xerophytic forests belong to the soil type being more susceptible to degradation processes.
