Abstract
A soil assessment study was conducted during the scientific expedition at Sg. Rawog Conservation Area SRCA Segaliud Lokan Forest Reserve with the aim to assess and evaluate the soil conditions of SRCA. During the expedition 11 soil samplings were conducted in 4 types of forest ecosystem in SRCA namely disturbed kerangas forest disturbed Kapur Merah forest late secondary forest and disturbed Lowland Mixed Dipterocarp forest LMDF. Soil within these 4 types of forest ecosystems were investigated based on soil and site characteristic namely depth colour texture pH parent material drainage condition and slope gradient. Soils in the area were classified as Sook and Brantian Association. Both soil associations derived from same parent material which is alluvium. Dominant soil unit for Sook Association includes Gleyic Acrisol Gleyic Podzol and Orthic Acrisol. Brantian Association dominant soil units are Orthic Acrisol Ferric Acrisol and Gleyic Acrisol. The topography of the areas are generally undulating terrain elevation ranges from 30 to 120 a.s.l. drainage condition varies from moderately well to poorly drained. Two types of soil colour were recorded and they range from brownish gray to white podzosol and dark brown to yellowish well drained soil. The soil texture ranges from sandy to sandy clay loam. The soil pH ranges from 4.12 to 5.18 top soil and 4.46 to 6.06 subsoil.
