The color properties of the sod-lithogenic soil on the red-brown clays of therecultivation site at the Nicopol manganese ore basin have been studied. The quantitativecharacterization of color channels intensity in the humidity gradient at the different depts ofthe soil layers has been done. The statistic significant dependence of the color channelsintensity from the humidity has been revealed. The data on the intensity of the red channelhave been found to be more informative for assessment of the soil moisture on the sodlithogenicsoil on the red-brown clays. Relatively homogeneous sites have been selectedaccording the changes of the color channels intensity in the soil profile which mark geneticsoil horizons of the sod-lithogenic soil on the red-brown clays. The dinamic of the soilformation processes of the sod-lithogenic soil on the red-brown clays has been traced withthe help of the 3-D diagram.
