'Chernozem (/ˈtʃɜːrnəzɛm/ CHUR-nə-zem),[a] also called black soil, black earth, dark earth, regur soil or black cotton soil, is a black-colored soil containing a high percentage of humus[2] (4% to 16%) and high percentages of phosphorus and ammonia compounds.[3] Chernozem is very fertile and can produce high agricultural yields with its high moisture-storage capacity.
