It does that here too, that would be interesting to learn about, specific to a region and why its so. When wet its a dark brown and still looks very rich. The sublayer is a noticeably lighter coffee with cream color, clay and rock. In areas that vegetation, small trees etc. have taken over, there is a layer of black topsoil, no rocks, all fines and organics. Problem is, if you reclaim an area like that, you will lose that top layer or it gets turned under mixed in. That gets wet, its slick like grease, you can't walk down a hill on it if bare soil, like whats under the canopy, takes a lot to dry it too, like the weather we have had for 2 weeks, warm/hot and no rain, just now is it getting dry under the canopy. Makes you wish it was a foot deep. On this land, those black layers are only a few inches, then the layer of brown, then the coffee color layer of clay/gravel. It took 35 years for the black layer to build up, from what was either crop ground or pasture that vegetation, brush, small and larger trees have taken over. It reminds me a little of black top soils Ive worked with in southern NJ, that was black and sandy, sublayers below stained from it.
