The field work and mapping studies carried out in the Natural Reserve of Torricchio mountain were aimed to elict the causal relationship between the vegetation and the complex of edaphic factors. By way of the studies it was possible to distinguish the following types of landscapes. 1 - landscape of summits and cryoplanation terraces ; 2 - landscapes of step slopes; 3 - landscape ofslopes with soil-creep processes, solifiuction lobes and benches; 4 - landscape of slopes with quick mass-movement; 5 - landscape of valleys filled by colluvial-alluvial deposits; 6 - landscape of valleys strongly incised. For each landscape unit the principal physical-chemical characteristics of soil and vegetation are discussed.
