Process: Aggregate Crushing (P 11)

This process will simulate the breakage of aggregates due to tillage operations. Its parameters are:

Aggregate Size Distribution Factor
Reflects breakage of all soil aggregates regardless of size. As value decreases, the fraction of soil aggregates that are breaking increases.

Crushing Intensity Factor
Reflects the unevenness of breakage among aggreagates in different size classes. Large values indicate that crushing mainly affects large soil agregate.
