Question

Soils are part of our natural capital and all terrestrial life depends on it. most mature soils have about how many soil horizons?

Answer 1

I believe that most mature soils have three soil horizons. That is Horizon A, Horizon B, and Horizon C. Horizon A, also called the top soil contains a mixture of mineral matter and organic matter, as well as many insects, fungi, and microorganisms. Horizon B, also called the sub soil, contains fine clay particles washed out of horizon A. Horizon C contains partially weathered parent material.
