What Does SOM Stand For?
SOM stands for Soil Organic Matter
Soil Organic Matter (SOM) refers to the organic components of soil, primarily derived from the decomposition of plant and animal materials.

SOM also facilitates nutrient cycling and supports biodiversity within the soil ecosystem, making it essential for sustainable agricultural practices and environmental health.
