The town of Vrancea, Mehedinți County, belongs to Burila Mare Commune and it is located in the south-western part of the county wich is part of the west Oltenia Plain being located on the fluvial terraces of the Danube. On the studied territory there were formed and occur as soil units, Reddish Preluvosol on carbonate deposits, mollic Reddish Preluvosol on carbonate deposits, mollic Psamosol on aeolian deposits. The specific meso-relief of the reddish preluvosol is represented by the Danube terraces - the II Corabia terrace, altitude 15-22 m, and the psamosol - the Danube terraces - the IV terrace - Flamanda, with an altitude between 50 and 60 m. Preluvosols are characterized by a low content of humus, 2.70-2.93%, slightly acidic reaction, pH 6.13-6.43, low content in nitrogen and medium in phosphorus and potassium. Calcium carbonates are present in a high percentage, in the Cca horizon, and the chemical neoformations represented by CaCO3 concretions have been identified. Psamosols have a medium humus content, 2.64%, a slightly acidic reaction, pH 5.83-6.23, medium-low nitrogen content, medium phosphorus and weak potassium.
