Organic Layer - plant litter Surface Layer - mineral and organic mixture Subsoil - contains clay, iron, aluminium Substratum - parent material

The first layer is Litter, the third is Humus, so the second layer would be Duff.
Soil litter is made up of leaf "skin" and pieces of leaf that are usually at the top of the horizons of the soil. Often found in forests.
