The studied meadow-brown soils of moderately dry subtropics of Azerbaijan are formed under thinned forest-bush and lacustrine — grass vegetation. In meadow-brown and other types of meadow soils, vegetation development and phytomass formation are influenced by soil and surface moistening. Aboveground phytomass which plays an important role in humus formation of natural and cultural cenoses of meadow soils creates plant biomass of 32–60–76 cwt/ha and 55–110–119 cwt/ha.
