Why is it much more difficult to maintain a rather high organic matter content in soils of the southern states than in the northern states?

Maybe because it is warmer , the organic matter decomposes faster. Only guessing though

My guess is more or longer soil microbial action (respiration) annually.

Decay proceeds rapidly in a warm moist climate.
