I agree it could be considered as humus. The distinction between organic soil and humus is ambiguous according to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humus" id="gmail-m_3889685346846755434LPNoLP374458" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humus</a> , but I think it is general enough to target
 mostly organic soil.<br>

Shall we consider to add this specification on the tagging? Or would humus be considered as bare soil anyway?</div>

+1, <br>
I also disagree that “soil can be organic or mineral”. It has typically both, organic and mineral components, but organic components are a hard requirement. Otherwise it would be sand, or rock, or silt or clay or loam etc. (depending on grain size/s).<br>
