Soil chemistry table was used to determine the value and criteria of soil chemistry. Stages of research with soil analysis using five soil fertility parameters (CEC, base saturation, C-organic, P-available and K-available), which are used to assess the state of soil fertility. The results showed that fertility was low at all sampling points due to limiting factors of C-organic concentration and alkali saturation.Keywords: fertility, forest, soil, wonosalam
