Abstract

The study area is located at the confluence of VAƒrbilAƒu with Teleajen, a former mansion previously having multiple uses (garden, orchard, pasture), with an empirical adjustment, but effective, now decommissioned, into fallow or degraded pasture.There have been a sleeper in the lower part of the territory (the VAƒrbilAƒu’s alluvial) to the set, in the highest part. Due to varied topography, and other factors which conditioned pedogenetical, resulting many types and subtypes of soils classified in several classes: Protisols (Fluvisols), Luvisols (Luvisols) and Anthrosols (Erodosols).This paper presents the physico-chemical and morphological properties of soils, their analytical data and evaluation opportunities for best uses, particularly orchards.
