| Summary: | In order to cope with the fact that the number of success in land rehabilitation
is relatively low, it is important to know about the initial conditions of the soil as
the plant’s growth medium when constructing a land restoration plan and strategy.
Soil’s capacity to enrich the plants naturally depends on three components that
interacts with each other, that is soil’s physical, chemical, and biological properties
and characteristics. As a legalized hunting park, Taman Buru Masigit Kareumbi
(TBMK) is a conservation area. Every practical utilization and activity carried out
inside the TBMK area must comply with the conservation principles, but damages
can still be found in the forest area so that it is degraded into a grassland. This
research aims to analyze the condition of the soil in the targeted area of the
restoration as an effort to optimize the success of restoration and to identify the
potential use of biological agents to help improve the soil condition. Soil sampling
and laboratory analysis were performed to analyze the physical and chemical
characteristics of soil properties. Physical parameters observed were bulk density,
soil texture, and soil temperature. Chemical characteristic’s parameters observed
were soil’s pH, organic carbon, nitrogen, and available phosphorus. The analysis
of each parameter shows that the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil
in the targeted area for restoration generally meet the capacity to support plant
growth, except for the nutrient content. The results of the analysis show that soil’s
available phosphorus is classified as very low, and this has a potential to disrupt
plant growth. Utilization of biological agents, one of which is phosphate
solubilizing microorganism (PSM) can help increase soil’s available phosphorus
levels naturally by releasing phosphate that is bounded with mineral ions. The
recommended group of PSMs are bacteria along with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
