What else can I help you with?
Is there humus in the C horizon of soil?
no it is found in the topsoil or a horizon
What soil horizon is nutrient rich because it has the most humus?
The topsoil horizon (A horizon) is nutrient-rich because it contains the most humus, which is a dark, organic material formed from the decayed remains of plants and animals. Humus helps to improve soil fertility, structure, and water retention, making it ideal for plant growth.
Which horizon contains the most humus?
soils have different layers present in it as the depth increases. These layers are called horizons. Humus as we all know is present in the top layer of the soil,which is several inches in thickness and is called A horizon.
Which soil layer contains the least humus?
The C and R horizon
Fallen leaves make up an important part of the horizon of soil?
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.
Which soil layer contains the most humus?
the O-Horizon is the topmost soil so it has the most humus
Which layer of soil is the most newly formed?
The top layer of soil, known as the O horizon or organic layer, is the most newly formed. It consists of organic material such as leaf litter and is constantly being replenished by decaying plant matter.
What part of the soil is formed by the decaying plant and animal remains?
The uppermost layer of the soil which is the O-horizon, and is called "Humus".
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.
Where are you likely to find dark-rich soil in a soil profile?
you are likely to find dark, humus-rich soil in an A-horizon profile because that's where dark soil is found & the composition is the particles of weathered rock materials mixed with humus.
Which contains the most humus?
soils have different layers present in it as the depth increases. These layers are called horizons. Humus as we all know is present in the top layer of the soil,which is several inches in thickness and is called A horizon.
Which biome soil is rich in humus?
AnswerThe O horizon and the A horizon are most rich in humus due to the organic material being highest in those two layers. O is higher than A, though. mjhgbb
