Abstract: The eroded soils of the eastern exposure slope with a steepness of 15-25 ° in the equatorial Andes were studied. Organic matter in soils does not exceed 1.06%. It is established that the content of organic matter depends on the site and the shape of the slope. Concave parts, as well as a sector in the upper part of the slopes, are characterized by the presence of soils with the highest content of organic matter. Whereas the soils on the convex parts of the slope contain a smaller percentage of organic matter. All parts of the slope have a low content of Nitrogen and Phosphorus.

Key words: soil, slop, erosion, organic matter.
