The results of the analyses showed that the soil is characterized as sandy loam in the upper horizons to slightly sandy clay by the particle size composition in the lower horizons. The humus content varied from 0.27 to 2.27%. The soil reaction (pH) was slightly to moderately acidic (from 5.48 to 6.07) along the profile. Carbonates were not established in depth of the soil profile.
