The article examines the functions of forests and soils in mountainous landscapes and the damage caused to them. The characteristics of the northern, southern, eastern and western slopes of forest ecosystems are evaluated separately. The properties of trees growing in mountainous areas are investigated according to the composition of the soil.
The main component of the mountainous landscape is forests, and mountain forests are of great importance in the protection of our nature. Forests protect and protect the land cover from being washed away, and residential and agricultural areas from floods. As we know, most of the atmospheric sediments fall on the slopes of mountain forests. Therefore, the hydrological condition of mountain regions depends on the water regulation function of these forests. Some of these atmospheric deposits remain in the canopy of trees and evaporate over time, while the other part is filtered through the branches, leaves and trunks of trees and falls onto the surface of the forest floor. The forest floor has the importance of water storage and soil protection for the forest. Also, the forest floor holds moisture for the forest. In the mountain forests, it settles under the forest floor and brown soils are formed.
