Abstract: Soil nutrients and fertility status of Northern Dry Mixed Deciduous (NDMD) Forest in Kutku range of Latehar district (site1) and Dry Peninsular Sal (DPS) Forest in Barkagaon range of Hazaribagh district (site2) of Jharkhand was compared. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for pH, organic carbon, available macronutrients (N, P, K) & micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu). Based on fertility rating for both the sites, pH of soils of both types were slightly acidic, SOC of NDMD was moderate to high while that of DPS forest it was low. Nitrogen and phosphorus content was low to medium and potassium was low in NDMD type but medium in DPS type. Iron was found high in both the forest types, zinc content was medium to high in NDMD forest and medium in DPS forest soil.
