Abstract

Girland soils describe one of the most representative and most noticed microrelief's phenomena of the periglacial moiphocomplex on the high mountains on the Balkan Peninsula. The presented knowledge is about the spreading of the girland soils on these areas and basic genetic characteristics of the girland soils. Girland soils (girland forms) on the high mountains in the Republic of Macedonia are noticed for the first time on the mountain's massive Jakupica (1962), and later they are registered also on the mountains Kožuf (1983) and Stogovo (1985). New knowledge is presented in this paper about diffusion of the girland soils on the mountains: Pelister, Galichica, Jablanica and also in the central part of the mountain Stogovo.
