Summary:Geochemical features of soils formed under conditions of abandoned cinnabar deposits in the Northwest Caucasus were studied for the first time. It was shown that the predominant elements in them are represented by titanium and manganese in the group of lithophilic elements, nickel and cobalt among siderophilic elements, and zinc and copper among chalcophilic elements. Similar regularities were revealed for the ash composition of tree species. Despite the fact that the modern soil cover is formed on various features of mesotopography, the content of elements is slightly contrasting.
