A comparative analysis of organic matter in the mountainous soils under the main plant communities of the Crimea was performed. The humus state of burozems and mountainous meadow soils under natural meadow vegetation and planted forests was studied using traditional methods and 13C-NMR spectroscopy for the determination of the contents of total organic carbon, carbon of humic acids and optical density of humic acid solutions. The highest humus content in the A horizon was found in the dark buroz
