Abstract: A total of 20 topsoil (0-20 cm) and 36 subsoil (0-50 cm) samples were collected from four soil series namely the Malacca, Rasau, Bungor and Gong Chenak. The Physico-chemical properties such as particle size distribution, texture, Organic Matter content (OM), density, porosity, pH, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Electrical Conductivity (EC), available nutrients and the presence of selected heavy metals were analyzed by the standard methods. The analysis showed that the subsoil and topsoil of the Rasau soil series consisted mainly of sandy loam, whereas the Bungor, Malacca and Gong Chenak soil series were mainly of clayey texture. The organic matter content of the Rasau soil series was very low; for the Malacca and Bungor series the organic matter content was low. The Gong Chenak soil series contained comparatively high OM content. Soil physical properties showed higher bulk density values in the disturbed soil horizons than in the undisturbed forest soils. All the soils studied had low pH and low electrical conductivity. The cation exchange capacity of all the soil series was low with values of less than 13.34 meq/100 g soil. The available phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg) values of all the soil series were low and very low, while available potassium (K) values were acceptable. Result of heavy metals analysis indicated that some heavy metals such as Pb, Zn, Cu, Co, Ni, Cr and Cd were present in all the soil series but occurred in low concentrations below the critical level.
