ABSTRACT: Mangrove forests
have characteristics that are often flooded by sea water so they have high salinity
levels. With this condotion, the mangrove adapts to the salinity of sea water.
Thisresearch aims to assess the soil condition in the area of mangrove forests,

of the mangrove forest area, especially in Nusapati Village Mempawah Regency in
terms of soil texture with sand fraction between (0.17% -1.34%), dust between
(42.01% -45.05%), and clay between (54.19% -56.56%) the average texture class
has loamy clay fraction.Soil acidity or pH is between (4.44 to 7.59)
categorized as acid, very acid, alkaline and neutral.C-Organic values of soil
range from high to very high (3.99% -5.05%). CEC values of soil categorized as
high to very high namely 22.61 (cmol(+)kg-1) - 28.64 (cmol(+)kg-1). While soil salinity
ranges from between 0.66 ppt - 2.95 ppt.
