Humus

n. rich soil formed from decayed matter

Humus is a term used to describe two different types of organic material in soil. In the earth sciences, "humus" refers to any organic matter which has reached a point of stability, where it will break down no further and might, if conditions do not change, remain essentially as it is for centuries, or millennia.In agriculture, "Humus" is often used simply to mean mature compost, or natural compost extracted from a forest or other spontaneous source for use to amend soil.
