The result of the paper is the classification of biotopes of the projected landscape reserve "Loess canyon" according to hierarchical classification and codes of EUNIS. During the study it was determined five classes of habitats of the first order and, given the specificity of the biotopes of the South of Ukraine proposed to include in EUNIS two subclasses the order below.
