N2 - The article describes the properties and modern classification position of mountain-forest soils at the eastern end of the Tukuringra Range. Based on morphological analysis, three groups of soils have been identified within the study area: Cambisols, Gleysols and Podzols. The soils of the Cambisols group are associated with the slopes of the southern exposure and are characterized by the presence of humus horizon, good drainage, expressed rockiness, and formation of an aggregated metamorphosed layer of brown colour in the middle part of the profile. Soils of the Gleysols group are formed in permafrost areas within the lower part of the western exposure slopes. The lower part of the soil profile is characterized by intense thixotropy. The northern exposure slopes are characterized by high prevalence of permafrost, thin rank soils, and bedrock exposures. Under these conditions, soils of the Podzols group are described within the smooth slopes and floodplain terraces of mountain rivers. These soils are formed on colluvial deposits; they have light granulometric composition and good drainage. In the upper part of the profile, the dry peaty layer is well developed as a result of conservation of organic residues.
