The paper aims to present the influence of erosion processes on the Chernozem subtype argic in the Station for the Study of Soil Erosion perimeter, located on the Valea cu Drum hydrographic basin, located of the left slope Slănic from Buzau County, in the area of Aldeni, Romania. The main objectives of this study were to present and interpret the data regarding the annual rainfall regime and the vegetation period, the study of the rains that produced runoff and erosion, respectively the surface runoff determined by these rains and the annual amount of soil washed from the plots control, differentially cultivated. The analysis of the experimental results shows that the year 2023 was dry, the recorded temperatures exceeded 190C in the June-August period, out of 17 rains recorded at the station during the summer period, 47% were less than 10 mm. Quantitative and qualitative study of the erosion process allowed the assessment of the amount of material washed from the soil surface (this being 41.9 t ha-1 on a 15%) by the runoff produced by the rains that fell during the summer.
