Abstract
The study was under taken as a Research Project for partial fulfillment of the degree of M.Sc Forestry Extension from Allam Iqbal Open University Islamabad. Prior to conserve Morels, studying physical and chemical parameters of Morels habitat are one of the prerequisites. The Morels habitat in Utror valley Kalam was studied with focus on soil where Morels grow, ten (10) plots were selected randomly, soil samples were collected by the usual procedure from the selected plots of the study area i.e. from 0-90 cm depth. The soil samples were air dried grinded and packed tightly in plastic bottles and labeled. These samples were then used for further investigation. The soil layer, cover, depth, water holding capacity texture, pH, total organic matter, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), percent nitrogen (%N), phosphorus (%P) and potassium (%K) were determined in the soil of selected area through recommended analytical procedures. We found that the soil of Utror valley Kalam Swat is feasible for the growth of Morels besides recommendations for ex-situe conservation of Morels.
