Mollisols

Mollisols are a type of rich, fertile soil found mainly in grassland regions worldwide. They have a dark, organic-rich top layer called a mollic epipedon, which results from the accumulation of plant material like roots and decayed grass. This soil type has high nutrient content and good structure, making it ideal for agriculture and supporting abundant plant growth. Mollisols are often found in prairies and savannas, such as the American Midwest and Ukraine, and are some of the most productive soils for farming.
