As a result of the catabolic action of saprophytic microbes on fragmented detritus, dark, moist and amorphous matter known as humus gets accumulated over the soil layers. This material is composed of higher nutrient content than normal soil and makes nutrients available to plants in absorbable forms. Following are the three main characteristics of humus :- It binds the soil together, and prevent soil erosion. Humus content affects the color, texture, and structure of the soil.
