Histosol (Organic Soils) Soil order of peats and mucks that are thicker than 18 inches. Very minute mineral component. Forms from the accumulation of organic matter in wet/cool environments (examples: Wetland or peat bog). Found in boreal, arctic, and sub-arctic regions. Important ecologically because of the amount of carbon contained in them. Agriculturally valuable. Can be used as a fuel source. Lots of anaerobic decomposition! GENERAL

FIN Q: why was the soil so good in school? A: it knows its ABCs. Q: why did the gardener plant his money? A: he wanted the soil to be rich. So a fungi walks into a bar and the bartenders says “We don’t serve your kind here!”. The fungi replies “But, I’m a FUN-GUY!” … get it?
