| | Humus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Humus is a colloidal as substance, and increases the soil's cation exchange capacity, hence its ability to store nutrients on clay particles; thus while these nutrient cations are accessible to plants, they are held in the soil safe from leaching away by rain or irrigation. | | | Humus is often described as the 'life-force' of the soil. | | | Humus is extremely important to the fertility of soils in both a physical and chemical sense (see below). |

| | NOFA Interstate Council: The Natural Farmer. Humus. Paul Sachs |
| | This is not to say that humus is immune from further decay, but its resistance to decomposition is at a level that enables it to exist for decades if not centuries as a soil conditioner, a habitat for microbial life and a vast reservoir of plant and microbial nutrient. | | | Higher percentages of humus are found in soils formed anaerobically because conditions are more favorable for humus accumulation and less favorable for its destruction. | | | The accumulation of humus is naturally easier in clay soil than in sand because the environmental conditions for decay bacteria are often not as ideal. |
