The research was conducted on three types of soils: typical soil lessive developed from loess, chernozemic rendzina developed from chalk and mud-gley soil developed from silty clay. It was stated that freezing processes and compaction made significant changes in water properties of examined soils. The changes in the values of analysed parameters depended on the soil type and the number of freezing-thawing cycles. The mud-gley soil showed the most notable reaction to compaction. The greatest influence of the freezing processes on the water properties at the natural state was noticed for soillessive, and at the compacted state – for rendzina.
