Necrosol

A necrosol is a type of anthropogenic soil commonly found at cemeteries or other burial sites, and is characterised by the presence of human remains in the soil. The term necrosol was first introduced by Graf [1] during his study of flora and vegetation at a cemetery in Berlin, Germany, in 1986.
