top soil is the upper surface of the Earth's crust, and usually is no deeper than approximately 20 centimeters. The Earth's top soil mixes rich minerals and composted material, resulting in a nutritious substrate for plants and trees. It may one of the Earth's most vital resources, because it represents a nutritional balance that provides food for many of the animals on Earth, either directly in the form of plant material or indirectly in the form of products from animals that eat plants.
Farmers are concerned about top soil because it sustains their crops, but biologists also keep an eye on global top soil health. Plants need healthy top soil to survive, and it is actually very easy to damage. In nature, an assortment of plants combine with natural cycles of fire and water to maintain the top soil. Plants hold the top soil to the Earth, water nourishes the plants, and the plants die or are burned in fires to restore nutrients to the top soil. When this cycle is disrupted by farming or clearcutting, the results can be disastrous.
