Yeast number and species diversity in urban soils characterized by various intensities of anthropogenic impact in the southern cities of Russia (Krasnodar, Maykop, Simferopol, and Sochi) was investigated. The soils of botanical gardens and the reference soils in the vicinities of cities were used for comparison to reveal the degree of anthropogenic impact. The maximum yeast number was found in a layer of 0–20 cm in the urban soils of Sochi and Simferopol, where it was 5.7 ± 0.2 and 5.4 ± 0.01 lo
