A study was carried out at a natural forest and 18-year-old planted Shorea leprosula plot at Chikus Forest Reserve, Perak which were categorised as lowland dipterocarps forest. The objectives of this study were to evaluate and compare the soil physicochemical properties between natural and rehabilitated dipterocarps forests at Chikus Forest Reserve, Perak.

Results obtained showed that silt fraction, moisture content, total carbon and organic matter were significantly (p
