Clay and humus serve different roles in soil health and fertility, so one isn't inherently better than the other. Clay provides excellent water retention and nutrient-holding capacity, while humus improves soil structure, aeration, and microbial activity. Ideally, a balanced mixture of both is optimal for healthy soil and plant growth. Each component contributes uniquely to ecosystem functionality.

When a jar with clay and Sandy soil is shaken and left to settle why does the humus float?
When a jar containing clay and sandy soil is shaken and then allowed to settle, the humus, which is lighter and less dense than water, floats to the top. This occurs because humus is composed of decomposed organic matter, which has a lower specific gravity compared to the mineral particles in the soil. As the heavier clay and sand settle at the bottom, the humus rises to the surface, forming a layer that is easily visible.
Why does humus tend to increase with the clay content of soil?
one major difference between humus and clay soil is that humus is made up of remains of dead plants and animals and it is topmost layer of the soil whereas clay soil is a type of soil which is used to make earthen pots or clayey toys etc.
