Soil is composed of organic and inorganic parts. Inorganic is weathered rock. Organic is dead or decaying organisms called humus. Fallen leaves are part of what makes up humus. Fallen leaves (as well as all humus) are found in the "O" horizon as well as the "A" horizon.

What do leaves need to make food?
Answer Chlorophyll in leaves takes the energy from sunlight, converts it into plant starches and sugars, and feeds the rest of the plant. Answer Plants have a very elegant and complicated cycle that allows them to capture the light of the sun and combine it with atmospheric carbon dioxide to create sugar. This sugar is essentially the plant's food, and it can be exported to newly developing leaves, or stored in the form of starch for a later use. A link can be found below.

How do you make a soil profile?
Soil Profile refers to the layers of soil; horizon A, B, and C. If you're wondering what horizon A is, here's your answer: horizon A refers to the upper layer of soil, nearest the surface. It is commonly known as topsoil. In the woods or other areas that have not been plowed or tilled, this layer would probably include organic litter, such as fallen leaves and twigs . The litter helps prevent erosion, holds moisture, and decays to form a very rich soil known as humus. Horizon A provides plants with nutrients they need for a great life. The layer below horizon A, of course, has to be horizon B. Litter is not present in horizon B and therefore there is much less humus. Horizon B does contain some elements from horizon A because of the process of leaching. Leaching resembles what happens in a coffee pot as the water drips through the coffee grounds. Leaching may also bring some minerals from horizon B down to horizon C. If horizon B is below horizon A, then horizon C must be below horizon B. Horizon C consists mostly of weatherized big rocks. This solid rock, as you discovered inSoil Formation, gave rise to the horizons above it.
