Forests play a fundamental role in sustaining human life on Earth. They offer a wide range of invaluable benefits, such as storing carbon, producing oxygen, and preserving biodiversity. Moreover, forests are essential in regulating the climate, supporting livelihoods, and ensuring water availability. Thus, it is crucial to protect and restore forests for a sustainable future.

Dive into the fascinating world of forest soil! 🌲🌍 This comprehensive entry explores the complex layers and dynamics of forest soils, known as the "humipedon". Learn how the diverse organisms that call this ecosystem home play a vital role in soil formation, nutrient cycling, and overall forest health. Discover the three key soil sections - humipedon, copedon, and lithopedon - and how they interact to support vibrant forest life. 🌳 Understanding the humus system is crucial for effective forest management. Whether it's the Mull, Amphi, Moder or Tangel systems, recognizing these patterns is the key to sustaining healthy, thriving forests.
