Vertisol Classification

Vertisol Classification is a soil classification system that belongs to the broader category of international soil taxonomy frameworks and is specifically distinguished by its focus on identifying, categorizing, and interpreting vertisols—mineral soils characterized by high clay content, significant shrink-swell behavior, and the development of deep cracks upon drying.
