The paper presents an original and multidisciplinary theme regarding the evolution of the main agro-productive properties given by the morphological, physical and hydro-physical properties of the chromic luvisols from Dolj County, exploited in the specific cultivation conditions of agritourism households. The novelty elements of this theme consist primarily in the tracking of all these properties over a long period of more than 25 years, using as a comparison term the chromic luvisol evolved under natural conditions, under forest vegetation. In order to be able to compare and observe the evolution of these properties over time, soil profiles were also carried out on the soils taken in cultivation, both in 1995 and in 2021, tracking their impact on the quality and quantity of agricultural productions, by significantly decreasing natural fertility and worsening these properties. Based on the significant and relevant results obtained, over a quarter of a century of research, it was concluded that this type of soil has undergone obvious changes in the sense of worsening some agro-productive properties, especially on cultivated soils.
