Question

question 42
where is the highest concentration of organic matter in a soil profile?
it is equally distributed throughout.
at the top
near the base
in the middle

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Organic matter in soil comes from decomposed plant and animal material. As these materials fall onto the soil surface and decompose, the highest concentration accumulates at the top layer (the O - horizon in soil profile terminology which is rich in organic matter). Deeper layers (like B or C horizons) have less organic matter as there is less input of fresh organic material from above and more leaching and mineral accumulation.
