The aim of this study was to assess the fertility of rusty soils based on the forest soil trophy index. The research was conducted in forests with different ages in the Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski commune. Soil samples were taken from every sub-horizon of 8 soil pits, 4 from the 38-year-old private forest, and 4 from 80-year-old state forest. Then soil texture, total organic carbon, pH in a 1 mol·dm–3 KCl, hydrolytic acidity, and total exchangeable bases were determined. Based on the obtained results, the ITGL was calculated. The ITGL indicates that the studied soils belong to mesotrophic and are a habitat of mixed forests.
