The study of wildlife grazing area habitat management by burning system is aimed to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil. A 20 (twenty) samples of soil was dug up from the burned area by using zigzag method. From each sample point the soil was taken of about 2 (two) kg. As well as for the untreated grazing area. 4 (four) soil samples (8 kg) were then analyzed in the laboratory of Forest and Nature Conservation Research and Development Centre. The result showed that burning system of Dichantium caricosum grazing area influenced the texture of the soil was changed occur from clay texture to be sandy-clay texture, while in Imperata cylindrica grazing area was changed from clay-compact to be compact texture. The contain of P, Ca, Mg and Na was increased in the burned grazing area of D. caricosum in contrast, the contain of such elements were decreased in the burned grazing area of I. cylindrica. The capacity of cation exhange and saturated bases were increased in D. caricosum grazing area, and decreased in I. cylindrica grazing area
