The color of soil when it is moist, which can reveal more about the soil’s content and moisture status. Moist soils tend to be darker because water enhances the color intensity, revealing organic matter content and the presence of minerals such as iron. For example, dark brown or black soils often indicate high organic matter content. Source: Soil Science Society of America. (2008). Soil Science Glossary. Soil Science Society of America.
