What layer of soil contains humus?
The top layer of soil, called the O horizon or organic layer, contains humus. Humus is a dark, organic material that forms as plant and animal matter decomposes. It is rich in nutrients and helps improve soil structure and fertility.
Why does layer A have more humus?
Layer A has more humus because it is typically the topsoil, where organic matter from decaying plant and animal material accumulates. This layer is rich in nutrients and is more biologically active, as microorganisms and earthworms break down organic matter into humus. Additionally, layer A receives more organic inputs from leaf litter and root exudates, enhancing its humus content compared to deeper layers.
