Microcharacteristics of soil pores after raindrop action

Aggregate breakdown and transportation caused by raindrops clogs soil pores and aggravates the formation of surface crusts. However, changes in soil pore microcharacteristics after raindrop impact are equivocal. In this research, we used synchrotron‐based X‐ray microcomputed tomography (SR‐μCT) and image processing techniques to quantitatively analyze the pore microcharacteristics of undisturbed soil and disturbed soil impacted by raindrop...
