Topsoil is the upper, outermost layer of soil, usually the top 2 to 8 inches. Topsoil has the highest concentration of organic matter and microorganisms and is where most of the earth’s biological soil activity occurs.

Because topsoil tends to contain a high amount of nutrients, plants generally concentrate their roots in and obtain most of their energy from this layer of soil.
