We studied the soil of different ages of chronological catenas at stationary Precarpathian and PrutDniester interfluvial. The obtained results of the morphometric features of the background and buried soils extend the capabilities for the interpretation of their evolution. Thus more soundly use of absolute values of morphometric parameters of genetic soil horizons. We showed, that the thickness of humus horizons and first of all the background soil profile generally, during the time after burial of soil increased. This is due to an increase in humidity of the climate in the last 1000 years. Key words: soil: background and buried, genetic horizon, thickness, the ratio between the horizons.
