Answer:

Healthy, fertile soil is a combination of water, air, organic matter, and nutrient minerals. Organic matter comes from decomposing plant and animal materials. Organic matter is the name for a plant and animal when it is in the process of decomposing. It's called humus when it has completely decomposed. Humus contains many nutrient minerals that improves the health and fertility of the soil. Carbon is critical for healthy soil conditions, and humus is roughly 60 percent carbon.
