👉 Latosols are a type of soil that is formed by the deposition of organic matter over time. They are composed primarily of clay and silt, with some sand and rock particles added to enhance drainage and fertility. Latosols can vary in size from very small pebbles to large, compacted aggregates. They are commonly found on grasslands, deserts, and other dry or arid environments, where they provide a natural source of water and nutrients for plant growth.
