The aim of the research is to compare the physical properties and biological activity of the soil in apple orchards with the soils of other lands: strawberry, chokeberry, black currant plantations, field crop rotation, forest plantations, and deposits. In apple orchards, in a layer of 0-40 cm row-spacing, there is a relatively low content of agronomically valuable, water-resistant aggregates, and the lowest moisture capacity. Due to the significant accumulation of snow in the garden and the annual leaf fall of the apple tree in the trunk strips, the same high cellulolytic activity is maintained as in other woody phytocenoses.
