The system and method of selection and documentation of soils that need to be included in the Red Book on the basis of research on natural and anthropogenic soils of the Ukrainian Carpathians were developed. Six categories of soil of the Red Book such as standards of typical, rare, endangered, cultivated and anthropogenic soils, unique soils have been proposed. Natural soils (typical, rare, endangered, unique) must functioned as soil etalons for changes evaluation that occur under the influence of forest management and recreational pressure, as well as protection of soil diversity. Etalons of cultivated soils play the role of models for agricultural lands; etalons of anthropogenic soils are used to determine the condition of land of urbo- and technocomplexes.
