Crust Formation

Crust Formation is a soil surface phenomenon characterized by the development of a thin, dense, and low-porosity layer at the topsoil due to the breakdown of aggregates and subsequent settling of fine particles under the impact of rainfall or irrigation, distinguishing it from other structural degradation processes by its specific occurrence at the soil-atmosphere interface.
