The article presents the results of studies on the content of nitrate and nitrite forms of nitrogen in agricultural soils of the Donetsk People’s Republic, which made it possible to identify patterns of nitrogen distribution along the soil profile. The smallest amount of both nitrite and nitrate nitrogen was recorded under grain crops, which indicates non-compliance with land use measures, the maximum – in areas under vegetable crops, in compliance with the standard regional agricultural technology for growing crops and using the necessary doses of mineral fertilizers. A close correlation has been established between different types of acidity and the content of both forms of nitrogen.
