Abstract: The Black sea sediments (sapropels) neutralize the acidity of Cinnamonic pseudopodzolic soil (Planosol) from pH 4.87(H₂O) in amount 1–5 g/kg into neutropHiles from 6.33 to 7.26 pH after 1-month incubation. In amount 10–30 g/kg from 7.12 to 8.01 pH after 1–4 months incubation. At Brown forest soil (Distric Cambisol) zone Bulgaria from pH 4.42(H₂O) in amount 1–7 g/kg sapropels pH changes to 5.26–6.20 units after 1–4 months incubation period. In an amount 10–30 g/kg from 5.68 to 6.76 pH after 4 months incubation. At Brown forest soil (Distric Cambisol) area Nova Zagora, from pH 5.19(H₂O) in an amount 1–7 g/kg sapropels pH changes from 6.52 to 6.98 pH after 4 months incubation. In an amount 10–30 g/kg from 6.82 to 7.23 pH after 4 months incubation.
