The aim of this work was to compare the results of biogeocenotic perspectives estimation for vegetation cover on slopes of different orientations (north and south) on an example of chernozem podzolized, situated in Forest Steppe of Ukraine. Geocenotic characteristics included nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in the soil, so as soil organic matter (humus) and the reaction of the soil solution (pH)– determined for the basic genetic horizons of soil profiles. Biocenotic characteristics included analysis of the plants species composition and yield of grasses on each slope, according to the moisture regime differences and changes in humus content and reaction of the soil solution. The article presents the botanical composition of natural herbage on both slopes of different exposure and presents the humus content and soil pH data by comparing the data of 1987 and 2017 years. The percentage of prevailing herbs families of hillside area and the number of hay-making production are also presented.
