Slaking

The breakdown of soil aggregates when they are suddenly wetted, leading to crust formation and erosion risk.

Related terms

  • Soil

    The upper layer of earth consisting of mineral particles, organic matter, water, and air, essential for plant growth and ecosystems.

  • Aggregates

    Natural clusters of soil particles ranging in size from microaggregates to larger peds. They influence soil porosity, water retention, and root penetration.

  • Crust

    A thin, compacted surface layer of soil that reduces infiltration and hinders seedling emergence, often caused by raindrop impact on bare soil.
