Series (succession sequences) of soils that change each other over time and within the landscape units are proper objects for landscape mapping. The soil series give an idea of both retrospective state of a soil before its anthropogenic transformations and of tendencies of soil development in landscape complexes of various types. The names of soils as they are appeared in soil nomenclature of Soil science should not be duplicated in the legends of landscape maps. "Landscape" names for soils have to stress on their features and attributes that are of primary importance for vegetation, water, thermal and other ecological regimes of landscapes. The "landscape" names for different types of Albeluvisols and Phaeozems of Ukraine are suggested. Key words: soil, landscape, landscape map, landscape science.
