Humus significantly influences the bulk density of soil and contributes to moisture and nutrient retention. Soil formation begins with the weathering of humus. In agriculture, humus is sometimes also used to describe mature, or natural compost extracted from a forest or other spontaneous source for use to amend soil.
The CAGR Formula. From Investopedia, Compound Annual Growth Rate ( CAGR ) is calculated as: =(Ending Value/Begining Value)^(1/# of years) -1. Restated: =(FV/PV)^(1/n) -1. where FV = Future Value, PV = Present Value, and n = number of periods. Calculate CAGR in Excel.
As shown at the right, to calculate CAGR you divide the ending value by the beginning value to find one plus the total growth percentage during the time of the investment. Then, to find the annual growth rate, you take that value to the power of 1 divided by the number of years for which you held that investment.
