Under description is a profile configuration represented by stratified bowl-like morphostructures with the increased thickness of dark-gray humus horizons and diaper-like morphostructures consisted of the olive-brown material ascending from the lower horizons in Vertisols developed on the bottom of a huge closed depression (padi) in Eisk peninsula. Histograms are presented to show statistic distribution and non-parametric statistic indices for morphometric characteristics of the above morphostructures. The statistic relationship between the morphometric indices is estimated. Under discussion is also the genesis of such morphostructures in Vertisols.
Keywords: dark vertic soils, agro-vertic dark quasi-gley soils, empiric statistic distribution, non-parametric statistic indices.
