This study was performed on the territory of Northern Europe in Middle taiga subzone Karelia. The work conducted at two test sites (Site I, Site II) located a pine forest coastal area Lake Segozero. In these territories, areas under juniper (UCB) and lingonberry-blueberry plant microgroups (CB) were isolated. article presents results effect properties upper soil horizon, litter (O), mineral podzolic horizon (E (UCB)). floor (E) soils microgroup selected as controls. volume weight; acidity; content total C, N, K, P had differences different horizons (O, E) studied II; CB, UCB). showed tendency for C N reserves to increase juniper.

Mathematical statistical analysis confirmed formation vegetative (CB UCB) cranberry also allowed us identify conjugate pairs chemical parameters (nitrogen reserves, activity, cellulose-destroying ability soils) that differ sites.
