Compost and soil are two places where humus will be found.
Specifically, the term currently designates the organic materials - predominantly carbon and nitrogen - which is remain after the decomposition of animal and plant remains. It is found in compost piles since recyclables aerobically break down into carbon and nitrogen. It will be found in the top 10 (25.4 centimeters) to 12 (30.48 centimeters) inches of the earth's soil horizon.
