Answer:
Topsoil is the primary resource for plants to grow and crops to thrive and the main two parameters for this are carbon and nitrogen. The nitrogen provides energy and carbon is a tissue builder and plants require them in a range of ratios to enable suitable growth.
There is generally a high concentration of roots in this layer as plants obtain much of their vital nutrients here. Accurate depth of the topsoil layer is measured as the depth of the surface to the first densely packed soil layer known as subsoil.
