Résumé

Information on chemical fertility status and on trace element concentrations for Singapore soils is sparse. In this study, concentration and distribution of nutrients and trace elements in forest soils of Singapore, and the effect of geology on the current conditions of soils, were evaluated. Litter and mineral soil samples (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-50 cm) were divided into three groups according to geology (sedimentary rocks, Neogene-Quaternary sediments and igneous rocks). Basic soil properties, exchangeable cations including cation exchange capacity (CEC), and pseudototal concentrations of 17 elements including nutrients and potentially toxic elements (PTE; As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn) were determined. Results showed that the soils of Singapore were acidic (pH 3.7-6.2) and characterised by a low CEC (maximum mean value: 100 mmol
